Suppliers usually prioritise their higher margins sales when supply is constricted , Or those who ordered first. Raiding a facility is a bit crazy tbf and hardly seems to speed up anyone getting their vaccine. Astra can supply who they want from where they want surely? Why is the Belgian plant fail...

Re: Spam and eggs

Take a tin of spam, chop it up and then fry it with some oil, garlic and onions, perhaps a few diced peppers. Add a hint of tabasco sauce and then gently transfer it to the waste bin and eat something else.
