New Zealand police arrest pair trying to enter Auckland with ‘large amount’ of KFC:
The men were arrested after allegedly trying to flee from police near the Auckland border. When their car was searched, police said they found a large quantity of KFC, as well as the cash and a number of empty ounce bags.
The arrest struck a chord with New Zealanders – especially Aucklanders, who have spent a month in a strict level four lockdown that does not allow restaurants to open or residents to order takeaway food.
[...] After the KFC arrest, a police spokesperson said “officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road, and upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off trying to evade police.
[...] A breach of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act can result in imprisonment for up to six months; or a fine of up to $4,000.
The men will appear in court for breaching the health order, and police said further charges were likely.

That's my whole point. There's plenty of money to ensure everyone is supplied, it's just being misspent to prop up the financial markets, instead of supplying hospitals training staff and paying peoples' bills, to the tune of 120 billion every month for the last two years, not including the trillions (they say 700bil) spent on bailing out the repo market [catalyzewm.com]. Note, timing is everything. All talk about shortages and debt are absolute garbage until this is addressed. Why should we let one totally non-productive sector of the economy profit so much in contradiction to all others during a crisis? Everything we suffer is through mismanagement. Our denial only makes it worse and drags it out
