If memory serves me, in WW2 the government confiscated “excess” food that people in TX had stored.
As regards “precedent”, does our corrupt government and equally corrupt judicial system even pay lip service to “precedent” anymore?
Ping.
My sister-in-law’s husband’s family used to have a big ranch in Texas panhandle in the 1940s and put up lots of home canned food for themselves and the working men.
One day, in the war years, someone claimed they were “hoarding food” and the government came out and confiscated all their food supplies they had.
How did they survive? They had another stocked cellar way out in the hills the government did not know about.
