Are Joe and Bernie speaking out against fucking hoarders?

42. Oh good grief

I'm high risk and could be facing quarantine or isolation for a prolonged time. I also have a medication that gives me digestive issues that often have me using far more TP than most other people. You try dealing with 4-8 episodes of diarrhea every single day--when you're relatively healthy, and see how much TP you go through. Now imagine being that way with Corona. Not a pretty idea, is it?

So I'm not buying the basketful of TP for shits and grins, pardon the pun, but because that's something I must do on a regular basis as it is. But if I'm going to be stuck at home and never go anywhere, possibly for several weeks? And if I get sick on top of it?

Either way, I need to have far more on hand than usual. I tried to get stocked up ahead, but a recent money crunch had me delaying what I thought were non-essentials, because I had quite a bit of what I needed on hand. But that didn't last forever. And then I needed to stock up harder than I normally would have, at a really bad time for taking care of that.

Am I supposed to ignore the CDC advice for high risk people like me, and not get what I need, when I need it, and can afford to get it?

Yes, there are idiot hoarders buying too much for no good reason, but this is what people do when they're scared to death--and well they should be, given how much our government has fucked up the COVID-19 response. We're on our own and we know it.

I guess if you insist, though, that Biden or BS (roll eyes) get out in front of the issue, then the proper response would be this:

Remind them of the medical advice, and to heed it.

Remind the public not to hoard, to consider other people out there--people like me who need stuff.

Give stern warnings to businesses to start clamping down on panic purchases, or else they'll be faced with more draconian measures like government-controlled rationing. If they don't voluntarily do it, it will be forced upon them, and sooner than any of us think.

The most important thing mere candidates can do is keep slamming the real source of the problem we're facing--the inept treasonous pig shitting all over any kind of (barely) adequate responses to a coming pandemic. That disgusting psychopath is the reason people are in a panic. They know he cares about them not at all, only about his own selfish wants. They know he's a fucking moron and has no fucking clue what he's doing while the country falls apart. And they've seen, already, that all the things that were supposed to prevent such an imbecile of a sadist from getting and keeping power have failed us. We're stuck with the amoral piece of shit, there's nothing we can do to get rid of him. We saw the evidence of it last month. People got the message loud and clear from that: We are on our own.

It's ridiculous when people blame Biden or even BS for things beyond their control, or to blame the public for doing what little they can to have the illusion of control. They can only do so much, because they don't have the power to do much. That's why their efforts will be little more than bandaids on an amputation. The problem is the person taking bone saws to the body politic and letting it bleed to death, right before our eyes. That's where we need to direct all attention and energy--holding the psychopathic asshole to account, every minute of every day, and not letting up.
