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'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

      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.
