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.
I hate to steal your favourite line, but that’s not the point.
The government can hardly be held responsible for the weather. Even with the best of intentions, there are going to be power outages, item shortages at local markets, and so on. Don’t you think it makes sense to be prepared for these things? You live in an hurricane susceptible to hurricanes. Don’t you stock up on things like water and non-perishable food when one is on the way?
