But again....this has nuttin to do with the politicians in Washington, but all about panic buying because of unfounded fear. Some of it(just like 4 years ago) is because retailers motivated by profit and greed tend to keep visible inventory low hoping it will look like a shortage and motivate the buyer to take all there is. If folks were so worried, why did they wait till now to stock up? Reminds me of the old sayin' "A fool and his money are soon parted".
It isn't all unfounded fear or panic.
Some of us would appreciate it if you stopped demeaning people for purchasing items at this point in time. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for doing so, some of which have been very succinctly articulated in this very thread
