No one is hoarding anything. Hoarding implies storing more than can be considered as having a logical purpose..
It is called stockpiling for potential emergencies. Used to be everyone was recommended to have 6 months of living expenses in liquid savings if possible. The left now calls that hoarding, meaning that they (the government) would be justified in confiscating a portion and giving to someone that has not prepared.
This hoarding sh1t is just warming up the thinking of the takers into justifying mass confiscations of essentials during a downturn. It’s been done in this country before, but not on the scale for which we are being prepared.
My personal attitude is, if you think what *I* have earned and *saved* is worth dying for, then come take it....if you can.
In the old Soviet Union, Communist China, and North Vietnam.... "Horsing" certain items was a crime punishable by prison, hard labor, or worse. Amazing what we have become.
many families made their riches during the great depression because they were the only ones left with cash to buy everything that was for sale at rock bottom prices.
