  Oh look, it's 2008 staycations all over again...

  This isn’t new. Anything DiY/hobby/YouTubeFodder related has shot up in price already, since Covid started.

  Even the used markets for fabric, art supplies, wood, tools, old sewing machines that do 1 thing, have been crazy. Estate auction biddings on used sets of student grade garbage art supplies sell well above retail in the mad hunger for these items. ETA gardening/canning supplies.

  Again though, as they make distraction less accessible (as with piracy crackdowns) they push the public into a more likely to riot state of being.

  This headline hints that it’s getting worse.

  All my hobbies are expensive as fuck.
