They are kind of right that there weren't food shortages. Eg loads of flour as long as you wanted it in 25kg sacks.
jellybaby-
Its like there isn’t a fuel shortage (the refineries have plenty) but there is a supply problem.
My issue is really about how all these things are apparently nefarious schemes by the government.
Raising prices like that is price gouging and is totally illegal lol. It’s an absurd thing to suggest Tesco and the like would get away with it.
He’s also convinced that they only make electric cars at the moment, and that they’ve stopped all production of petrol and diesels.
It’s all irrelevant as he’s currently about 3m behind the car in front on the motorway in torrential rain, so we’re probably going to snuff it in the next 10 minutes.

I hate my colleague being convinced everything is a conspiracy.
There wasn’t any food shortage during Covid, it was all in the warehouses just waiting so they could raise the prices (despite this being completely illegal).
Same for fuel shortages - it’s a government ploy to get everyone driving electric cars apparently.
Seriously it must be exhausting being so cynical and angry about everything.
