“Scenes like this undermine my faith in humanitys future.”
I get the opposite feeling. These people are looking out for themselves, which is a good thing. Even with a stock of emergency food, it doesn’t hurt to get some more. I would never put anyone down for making an effort to be responsible for their own welfare. The people you should wonder about are the ones who aren’t stocking up and who have no emergency food at all.
You bet!
