Hoarders are selfish SOBs.

Nonsense, this is an example of capitalism at its best. A smart player sees an opportunity and takes what is known as “a risk,” this isn't a risk like a firefighter or soldier takes it is simply gambling. If they screw up they walk away taking advantage of bankruptcy laws and stick their creditors. How it works is that they leverage their capital, borrow big and buy a commodity they think will rise in price due to demand and potential scarcity. So a clever entrepreneur fills a garage with plywood when he can get it cheep and as soon as a hurricane is heading toward town he sells it at a three or four hundred percent mark up! This is frowned upon between neighbors but is the principal our economy is built upon. Every company in our nation works this way. Why demonize some couple for stocking up and fleecing their neighbors when things become scarce? In a nutshell it is how things work.

We know how your brain works, what's left of it.

Try disputing the points I made rather than spewing crap and insult.

What you say is somewhat true, but coming from you it's meaningless.
Just the other day, you posted about how a person in Oregon deserved to have their car window broken, and their toilet paper, and other items stole for being a hoarder.
You're all over the place, and inconsistent as hell.

But you're not a troll........

It is not contradictory as it is offered with a great deal of sarcasm. I personally do not believe hoarding or cornering the market and exploiting people in a time of need is either right or moral I am simply pointing out that it is baked into our system. The reaction likewise is to be expected.
