I hoard canned beans, and they hoard millions of dollars of cash.
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.
