Note the p1 article about OPA regulations driving food distribution into the black market. Last week, we also saw a p1 article about the OPA demanding that residents report their food supplies and that the OPA could raid homes of suspected food hoarders.

We've already seen on Homer's threads where the Nazis said obesity was treasonous, hoarding carried the death penalty and in the case of Nazi occupied Greece, even private fishing was a capital offense.

In the Soviet Union, hoarding carried the death penalty. The assorted Cheka, GPU/OGPU, NKVD forces knew all the hiding places. They knew all the tricks and they were absolutely ruthless.

Preppers on FR chattering about preparations for their version of SHTF for the most part don't comprehend what conditions are like when it really does hit the fan.
