stocking up

Yeah, what you guys are doing honestly doesn’t come across as hoarding. As OLB says, there’s a tremendous difference between hoarding and laying in supplies in anticipation of something like a power outage, a transport strike, etc.

Right, but between a layperson, and state or federal government, please tell me why this past winter several middle American states such as Texas and Oklahoma froze their asses off? For the same reason California has a problem with wild fires. It isn't enough to dump survival up on the individual. There is no point in any government in the world, if it is all about the sake of power.

Even today, I have been shocked at the record highs in places like Montana and North Dakota.

Well, we (here in Texas) decided to try winter out to see if we liked it. I already knew the answer since I grew up in the midwest but apparently some people needed a taste of being snowed in for a week.
