No one ever talks about it, but the supermarkets still have a lot of empty shelves.
Is it covid? Poor management causing workers to quit? Who knows. Lots of vegetables that I've never had trouble getting, are suddenly unavailable for the whole month... It's creepy.
I'm gonna blame it on the floods even though most of those foods seem to be back and restocked regularly. Remember that weird month when you couldn't get spinach or lettuce though, shit was weird you'd go to KFC and get cabbage in your Zinger Burger™
they've replaced the Wicked Wings in the Zinger Box with these small crumbed clumps of boneless pieces too and they're fucking awful; if that's not a sign of how bad things have gotten I don't know what is
you don't tempt fate by depriving tradies of the Zinger Box, it's just asking for trouble
I've noticed this from before the floods, but that's probably part of the reason, yeah.
Shit's going to suck here worse and worse because of climate change, huh?
We are only entering the tunnel of climate change. Also the tunnel doesn't have an end. I picked the wrong metaphor for this, the point is we're only just getting started with how fucked this is gonna be
The Amigara Fault of Climate Change
Great metaphor, really captures the horror
It was before the current floods, it was just different floods. Rocket (arugula for the yanks) was hard to get due to flooding (and also an introduced species living in Australia). Spinach too, and iceberg lettuce.
