we are bent over with pants around ankles and retailers know it and can happily tell us to "squeal like a piggy" knowing there is nothing we can do about it if we want the stuff they selling

It the same all over the world now, price hiking for everything, except housing. I am still in here in Beijing China but will soon go back, the price here is equal to Auckland except vegetables. Pig ribs frozen= $18/ kilo, lamb from $15 to $18, eggs so called free range, $5.00 for $12. But remember, even in the heart of China, Beijinger do `t have your wage. Most family here in my place, there monthly income after heave taxes is about 3k, those ccp are excluded.

With the broken global supply chain, wars and tensions between east and west, doing business cross oceans is not that easy as before. But in NZ, the main reason are the raise of minimum wage, and zeroed the OCR in one MOA group at danger close range, and these two things were done right at pandemic hit in. So, if you gents look back all the media coverage from 2020-earlier 2023, and compare all the measures whatever is...for the safe of xxx, or for the future development, and you may find some similarity between China govt and NZ, as well those pressures put on farmers, NZ govt started one year earlier, and China just begin. But comes to ammo, there is a solution, and it `s depends on who will run next govt of NZ for next 6 years.
