          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.

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
