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

Other supermarkets (woolies/coles/aldi) don't seem to be turning over as much.
Not gold standard thats for sureLocal shopping centre (Midland WA) seemed to be thriving when we first arrived back here 3 months ago, only want or two shops in the centre boarded up.
I didn't countdown but there seems to be at least 10 boarded up now. And apart from McStalin having the occasional rush of blood, WA hasn't really had the same level of lockdown as the Eastern states.
But there does seem to be cracks appearing in the economy here.
I'm in 'wiping with a roll in each hand' territory. You can never have enough.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 )Real estate agent that lives next door mentioned no one is shifting retail properties. But industrial units are flying out the door.
Lots of things can be done.i have see one company turn what would be goods storage , into an effective server room
Yeap seems probable, but the Reset would see them booming for the big corporatesREIT will all be rooned.

Basically as i see it, small shopping centers, retail street areas will be anihilated but you might see the gap filled by big corporate franchises style in the big westfield style centers...Yeap seems probable, but the Reset would see them booming for the big corporates
Rocks and hammers?Can't get anything. Building stuff is hard to get and bloody expensive. Went to fix some smaller stuff for my friends, can't find anything I need.
That obviously means inflation.Can't get anything. Building stuff is hard to get and bloody expensive. Went to fix some smaller stuff for my friends, can't find anything I need.
Duct tape and silicon. Applied liberally.Rocks and hammers?
Specialist electronic goods also. I'm noticing stuff missing from supermarkets as well.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.
