Yes, we limited quantities, while they lasted.
Post #157 addressed the hoarding issue. Didn't happen here.
I was in no better position to restock or resupply because, as I said, nothing was getting in or out.
In fact, I was probably one of the last to get restocked. I was still on my normal schedule. No supplier goes out of their way for the small merchant.
The Food Lions of the world however, with the physical and financial resources to "darken the sky with airplanes", were the first ones fully back on line.
But, theoretically, yes I would have been in a better position.
Thanks for your reply.
I'm looking at this thread and I am seeing the visceral reactions from both sides. It reminds me of the 'if you're a libertarian, you're a druggie' threads.
It's not that all or any libertarians are using or advocating drug use. They just don't believe that the government has the appropriate authority to ban drugs or to make them illegal.
What's happening here is the natural (at least at one time) gut reaction to the government interfering in the conduct of the free market. Some will raise prices much higher to 'profiteer', but most others will not. Some will even donate to those who need the supplies. It's just that we don't like the government butting in and mandating to us.
