4. Understanding what's happening better and that unconscionable

"hoarding" has almost nothing to do with the shortages aggravating you should make you feel better. Maybe read about supply chain and demand issues. I have and haven't yet had an impulse to kick anyone over empty shelves. I do all too frequently want to take a stick to trumpsters, but that's a different issue. They really ARE unconscionable.

On the demand side, 130 MILLION households suddenly informed they will all have to go into lock-up at home and thus dutifully stocking up of course resulted in emptied shelves. Happily, that huge national task seems to be mostly completed, and most people are settling into normal replenishing.
