Things you don't ever want to hear from a government official. The NYT says this isn't happening and the politburo is blaming somebody else. This is the new normal.
Bold, decisive action once again!
This lame excuse reminds me of a book titled "Wooden Nickels, or the Decline and Fall of Silver Coins" by William F. Rickenbacker.
He lays out the whole charade as silver disappeared from circulation and the govt. blamed it on "silver hoarders".
In reality, foreign governments could still convert U.S. Dollars into gold. France's DeGaulle took one look at LBJ's spending binge and started converting. The Fed panicked and said they would pay the equivalent in silver and started retiring silver certificates and withdrawing/melting down whatever coins they could lay their hands on.
The govt hadn't fully ramped up the cupro-nickle coins then, so when the silver coinage disappeared, "hoarders" were blamed.

Agree with all if what you said. And I think you’re right...Lenin.
In any case, I think this nation needs to feel some serious hardship before it understands what supporting these leftist and globalist idiots produces.
Until the suffer some true hardship, they won’t ask the hard questions.
No pain, no gain.
I remember that scene!
Since the War on Americans began by biden’s selection one wonders how much longer democrats and rinos will allow the electric grid to remain operational ?
Someone local in our rural area asked “how will we get to town to get supplies”. My answer was why go in the first place? There will not be any supplies to go get. Better just hunker down and eat canned food, beans and rice, we are now in a full blown SHTF survival situation.
So many are not ready for what is to come soon, let alone understand the full scope of the real situation. If you don’t need to go anywhere then DON’T.
I feel sorry for my fellow red staters like AL and miss and TN.
The blue states can go to hell for voting in a pipeline killer.
We’ve got it all - refineries production biggest pipeline hub in the country and NO state of emergency. 👍🏻
I’ve heard it put by others that stocking up prior to an event is prepping but stocking up during an event is hoarding.
Sheesh.
I wouldn’t call it hoarding, but maybe just reacting. I prefer to be proactive (when supply is plenty and prices aren’t ridiculous!) 🙂

I agree. But the one catch in what happen was a cyber attack.
And that becomes one of the biggest security problems we have
around the world. If they can get into your system/network then
they can do many upsetting things to the company and the world.
What would a liberal know of a southerner except silly stereotypes?
