RE: Coronavirus Madness - Long Lines in Honolulu Hawaii

Thanks for the report of what you're seeing there.
I don't think many people are hoarding. Sure, there is always one or two in a crowd who act a certain way... but the majority of people are just doing their best for themselves and their families. Sadly, these people should have been prepared for something like this already, so in a way they are to blame for the empty shelves. If everybody always had 3 or 4 weeks supplies on hand, at all times, there wouldn't be supply imbalances like we're seeing all over the world at the moment.

Sort:  

I think it is a yes and no. Prior to the store setting limits people were packing multiple carts with as much as they could hold.

I don't necessarily see a problem with people buying lots of stuff. It's not immoral, it's not dangerous, it's not violent, it's not coercive, it's not threatening, it's not financially unsound, it's not illegal.... there's really no reason to be upset with those people, unless you're jealous toward them, or upset with yourself for doing it too.
Buying things for yourself and your family to use is never wrong. Let's not get dragged into the govt and mainstream media's "shame the hoarders" nonsense.
