This morning Mr S. texts me to say that the vending machine guy came in a changed all the prices.

Candy bars used to cost 50 cents, but now everything is 1.00, 1.50 or two dollars.

I don't know where candy bars come from, but this is inflation that can't be fixed right now. I know people think COVID is "seasonal", but that only means an infection for EVERY season. I don't understand how people think the economy is going to function with wave after wave of infection.
