          I think they ought to prepare for disappointment.

          One thing the pandemic “shortages” taught me is that in most categories I really do have enough stuff already.

            The pandemic made me a much better cook. I wasn’t bad before, but now I can do it without wrecking the kitchen.

          Oopsy, the credit cards are maxed out already due to their gouging So purchasing will remain low until credit card debt declines.

          Oh wait, that’s not going to happen anytime soon because the landlords are price fixing.
