Sort of related - the price of chimps has gone up 10x during COVID from $2k to $20k. Multiple factors, there was a corruption scandal in Cambodia (see ticker NOTV that is being investigated) that caused those exports to stop and China has stopped exporting chimps because their own pharma industry is booming

Wow, I never expected to see chimp inflation at this scale. I laughed off my friend who kept a stack of chimps under his mattress, but look who's laughing now.
