We know the idiots hoarding bottled water have zero idea about how viruses spread, the water supply, and anything, really. The toilet paper people are similarly perplexing, but their idiocy is at least worth consideration. [Reply]

Yeah, because you can't even get through the store without traffic lights and stop signs or someone directing traffic. The lines to the checkout went all the way to the back of the store and I only had two items. [Reply]

True. Women use more than men, because you guys shake on #1 and don't bleed. [Reply]

But it's glossy paper and glides only on the surface. A little bit of tooth, but soft, is needed. :-)

No. It's not that rational. It's much more emotional. It's called 'Fear of Loss.' Fear of losing your place, fear of losing out, fear of being alone (singlular), etc. It's the herd mentality. It's why Native Americans were able to stampede whole herds of buffalo off of cliffs.

Consider a funnel. Regardless of actual supply, there are only so many trucks, so many drivers, so many miles that can be covered in a day, It takes so long to drive the miles from origin to destination, so many workers to load the trucks . . . at the receiving end, there are only so many workers at the store that can be devoted to receiving the supplies, then restocking the stores; some employees must still operate the store's registers, administration, cleaning, etc. [Reply]
Are you hoarding idiots done yet? JFC, people are stupid. We're a family of five and we've yet to even open a new package after a week. We've used zero bottles of water.
I get that you're stupid/selfish, but there has to be a point where you have enough, no? [Reply]

Not 1 roll of TP in the Dollar Generals (Independence) now. They said a truck is coming in on Saturday. People are supposed to be lined up for it. :-) [Reply]

Virtue signaler.
Prolly just jealous of anyone who was smarter and likely hate successful people too. See I can play the same games as you, Mr. Judgmental. No wonder you call yourself a scarecrowe. :-)
Thing is people laughed back in 2012--now they're not.
Kinda like your bullshit opinion that taking more of a product than you need knowing it will cause others to not be able to get what they need isn't selfish. Which I'm still waiting to hear you answer. Funny thing is I didn't exactly chastise you for hording, I simply asked you to explain how it wasn't selfish. To which you responded by calling me a jealous, unsuccessful, dumb, judgemental virtue signaler, simply because I asked you to explain your point. Probably because you know it's a stupid opinion that you only made because you're trying to justify your own actions. Because if you admit they're selfish then you might have to accept the fact that you too are acting selfishly.
