I generally agree with Tucker Carlson, but I disagreed the other day when he seemed to be defending panic-buying because "your obligation is to protect your family first." But panic-buying is not the same as taking precautions to have emergency supplies on hand BEFORE an emergency so you DON'T have to engage in panic-buying.

Panic-buying says "Me first, and screw everybody else." Precautionary buying harms no one else, and might even give you a surplus with which to help neighbors, friends, or relatives.
