The drawers I bought for our 4wd in 2018 are now DOUBLE the price. I could sell my camper trailer for more than we paid for it two years ago. There's a lot of profiteering going on.
Restaurants may be empty, but deliveries are busier than ever. If a restaurant hasnt adapted in the last 18mths+, well, that's on them.
I dont see the point of throwing money at these sectors. Omicron ain't delta, this will be over in 2-3 weeks. Hospitalisations are already showing signs of peaking.
