Idiots are hoarding toilet paper because?

No, I think you need to explain how having extra TP, purchased in a time of abundance and plenty to-go-around 8 years ago, in order to barter with others, is selfish, when bartering is a mutual exchange that gives each side what they need. Ya' know you got something I need, and I have something you need--let's make a deal. That's a GOOD thing--NOT a BAD thing.

My buying extra at earlier times, did not adversely affect any one at that time, and others could take of the same abundance in availability but choose not to.

As I have said before, when you live in a hurricane-prone area you need to have preparedness so you avoid the lines or go without. It's usually canned food and water people stock, with TP overlooked. So you use the TP for barter with others to trade as it often overlooked.

My self-interest? You say that like there is something wrong with that. Self-interest and survival isn't necessarily selfishness. It's a healthy self-interest.
Per your value system and reasoning, my having stocked with other preparedness items such as long-shelf freeze-dried foods is also selfish.

Apparently you have some animus towards it so try to paint it as a bad selfish behavior. Sounds to me like you didn't ever think of some remote possibility of any disaster to prepare for some sudden emergency if it ever struck and now you're criticizing others for your own lack in foresight by virtue-signaling that you're more virtuous and good.

Yes it's not quite as bad because you didn't rush out knowing there would be a shortage & buy. However your entire premise is to take advantage of some sort of crisis by bartering with TP at an increased rate vs what you paid for it.

And, no, I'm fine on TP. Try again with the analysis. I think the more likely scenario is you're defending the behavior because you're guilty of the same thing to some degree.

That's just your opinion...a bullshit one. You're jealous and triggered.

Virtue signaler.

Prolly just jealous of anyone who was smarter and likely hate successful people too. See I can play the same games as you, Mr. Judgmental. No wonder you call yourself a scarecrowe.

Thing is people laughed back in 2012--now they're not.

Kinda like your bullshit opinion that taking more of a product than you need knowing it will cause others to not be able to get what they need isn't selfish. Which I'm still waiting to hear you answer. Funny thing is I didn't exactly chastise you for hording, I simply asked you to explain how it wasn't selfish. To which you responded by calling me a jealous, unsuccessful, dumb, judgemental virtue signaler, simply because I asked you to explain your point. Probably because you know it's a stupid opinion that you only made because you're trying to justify your own actions. Because if you admit they're selfish then you might have to accept the fact that you too are acting selfishly.

But hey whatever helps you sleep at night
