People have already bought their 100,000 rolls of toilet paper and 50,000 bags of pasta the first time.

yes , think about 'warehouse space ' it can be so versatile , i have see one company turn what would be goods storage , into an effective server room with amazingly few extra resources ( apart from heavy duty power of course ) not the stuff you see in glossy ads for big computers , but effective and MUCH cheaper ( no raised flooring no mess of cooling pipes )

Lots of things can be done.
Late 1990's I was involved setting up critical infrastructure inside an apartment.
Critical infrastructure as in government and the reason for using the (privately owned) apartment was simply that the location was workable for the cabling without major excavation works. Back then all the communications cabling had to be physically installed into the building and there were rather a lot of cables involved, if it were done today then technology makes it simpler.
It was in use for a decade or so.
Lots of situations where a building can be used for something very different to the obvious uses.
Another one I'm aware of is there's a critical gas facility located on a suburban house block. The neighbours are indeed just normal houses and it's a quiet residential street. That gas facility supplies the whole area. On site is the gas equipment and a small shed.
Industrial property and in some cases residential can certainly be put to alternative uses.

One thing I've noticed is that pretty much every business that has my email address seems to have sent some spam lately.
Enough that I've gone through opting out and otherwise saying no more thanks.
Possibly a coincidence but seems rather a lot all of a sudden.

I think that until there is a very fast, hard mass COVID vaccination program in Australia economic activity is going to crater. The infectiousness of delta COVID is forcing snap lockdowns. NSW is deteriorating .

have a look at the BWP report released two days back
some might notice SOME ex-Bunnings stores are being leased for other purposes
*** The directors of BWP Management Limited, the responsible entity for the BWP Trust (“the Trust”), today announced the results of the Trust for the 12 months to 30 June 2021. The Trust made good progress in improving Bunnings Warehouse properties and repositioning ex-Bunnings properties in the portfolio during the year. Upgrades were completed for the Croydon and Port Melbourne properties. The Port Macquarie property has been repositioned for large format retail and is now fully leased. A non-binding agreement has been entered into for the Cairns property to be utilised as a film studio, and the Trust has entered into an arrangement with the New South Wales State Government for the recently vacated Belmont North property to be used as a COVID-19 vaccination centre for up to two years. The re-zoning of the Belmont North property has recently been approved and work is underway to determine the best longer-term use for that property. The Midland property has been leased to a car dealership on expiry of the Bunnings lease in September 2021. Options to extend Bunnings leases were exercised for the Belmont, Caroline Springs, Cockburn, Fairfield Waters, Mount Gravatt, Pakenham, Smithfield, Wagga Wagga, Broadmeadows and Dubbo properties. ***

That obviously means inflation.
When you have to go to 2 supermarkets to fill a shopping list and still come back empty for some items.(3 weeks ago).,before the floods,just the covid mesures effect:
you know something is VERY wrong.
I last experienced that in Hungary pre Berlin wall fall in the 1980s
Same causes, same consequences..only free market system works communism,bogus medical measures .or for oil CC bogus targets twist the system.
It's ok now we can blame Russia after COVID for all our issues.....
FWIW in Panama, not a first world country, i have not seen empty shelves so far in the main supermarkets.
Duct tape and silicon. Applied liberally.
Specialist electronic goods also. I'm noticing stuff missing from supermarkets as well.
Was talking to a mechanic who was having trouble finding parts

I've heard that, haven't seen it. Unless trying to source parts from overseas using eBay, some mechanics do that, there are a few countries that have stopped certain parts leaving their shores.
There was a shortage of oil additives last year, causing a shortage of low viscosity engine oils and transmission fluids but that seems to have been resolved. Delivery times have increased significantly and freight prices have increased.
