Define “hoarding”.
Don’t let polypragmayons define it.

Quantities exceeding any rational explanation may be “hoarding”.
Large amounts of shelf-stable products contributing to prolonged nutritional needs is not hoarding.
Large amounts of perishable products with no apparent way to consume, distribute, nor store before spoilage is hoarding.

Yes, all have a right to buy whatever they want.
Deliberately buying up staples with the practical outcome of causing societal collapse understandably elicits a DGAF response regarding rights.

Prepping should end where you have more than enough to the point of wasting resources.

Hoarding is and will be whatever TPB says it is. “Reasonable” plays no part in what passes for collectivist thinking.

“Prepping should end where you have more than enough to the point of wasting resources.”

Exactly!

I WAS going to go on a rant about all of Beau’s ‘guy stuff’ but more times than not, he can come up with a solution to whatever my current need or want is, just with parts on hand.

And he DOES make regular treks to the Scrap Yard to recycle metals for cash, and we’re down to two junker vehicles within my sight lines, so I guess it’s all good. ;)
