In order to protect myself and my family, I have purchased a deep freezer which is inside my garage and filled with meats. I have stocked-up on everyday items, I have a 180 day supply of required medication and my spare bedroom is filled with everything I will need to survive the next commodity shortage. You may think that I am hoarding, but I am preemptively protecting and providing for my family if the need should arise. I hope that nothing will happen, but just in case, I hope you guys are also taking precautions for the next round of "POSSIBLE" shortages. Be Safe and proactive.
You are creating a self fulfilling prophecy. If everyone hoarded and did the same, they would create the shortage you are talking about. No need to hoard. I didn’t have any supply shortage in anything last year. I always was able to find everything if only online and having it shipped to me.
