I remember listening to a British historian discussing the post-wartime restrictions and lockdowns from either the first or second world war (can't recall which one he said it was) and he was saying that after the war ended the government kept restrictions going for food, goods, and social gatherings. It stretched out from a few weeks to months to finally 3 years. Then the people had enough and fought back (didn't say how) and the government was forced to drop everything.
We're getting closer to this being over. One way or another.
It was worse than that. During WW2 citizens had "ration cards" so you were only allocated the opportunity to buy a limited amount of stuff, food, fuel, and so on.
WW2 ended in 1945 but it was not until 1953 that rationing was officially ended.
Of course people had ways to get around the rationing and there was a black market.
That line was crossed 2 years ago. That's the problem. It took 2 years.
Better late than never, although I concede it's sucked ass the past 2 years.

The line was crossed on day 16 of the 15 days.
