I am not one for mystical sayings; however, sometimes what seems mystical is nothing more than an simple aspect of reality that has been romanticized by mystics. Such is the case with the unavoidable damage that is always caused by greed. As I write this, celebrity Paris Hilton recently donned a bridal gown completely made of toilet paper as some kind of attempt at humor (I have a theory that once you become ridiculously rich all humor within you dies and turns into cruelty) that just turned out to be yet another example of celebrity privilege during at time of great distress. People are once again emptying store shelves of staples, thus causing inflation to shoot through the roof once more. This will undoubtedly be blamed on Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress, but it is really the fault of hoarders. I have stated repeatedly that hoarding, apart from often times being a mental disorder, is a threat to the nation in general. These people sit around all day watching idiots on youtube blather about the impending end of the world that people have been incorrectly predicting for thousands of years now. This frightens them and causes them to venture off to Costco to buy out all of the food and supplies; these people are literally a burden on society. They cause havoc everywhere they go. Hoarding should be discouraged, but instead it has a whole online community that has renamed itself "prepping" in order to maintain a more positive image. But really all they are doing is stealing from the likes of you and me. You are only supposed to purchase what you need during an emergency. The suppliers are still having a hard time getting food to their locations. This is no fault of the media or the government, which both have reported on this over and over again. This is the fault of idiots who believe that milk and chocolate chip cookies will somehow save them from impending doom. But that doom is manufactured by the very people who are preparing for it. Now, because of this ridiculous decadence, our schools are experiencing food shortages. Again, this has nothing to do with supply shortages, which are a whole different animal. This is due to slow shipping by the businesses that are short staffed, largely by their own choice, and greed of the citizenry. Perhaps we should start having elections for CEOs and people within our communities. If you hoard, you are an automatic no go for me. Schools are now experiencing shortages of staples like milk, chicken nuggets and kitchen cleaning supplies. Do you have any idea how utterly frightening that is? Probably not. Jake Tapper probably told you it was all good, kissed your boo boo with some irrelevant poll and made you feel better. Do you have any idea what happens when a staff of a cafeteria are forced to provide their own cooking and cleaning supplies? Do you have any idea how unsafe that is? How unsanitary? Probably not, some hoarder on youtube probably told you clean cooking and eating was not essential during the end times, that you would be caught up in the clouds by some spirit guide that would make all the food poisoning go away. You do realize that flu season is here, right? Do you know what happens when you combine salmonella, e. coli, the flu, and covid-19 during the coldest days of the year? Go to a school and I am sure you will find out. In some school districts parents are already being asked to provide bagged lunches for their kids; keep in mind that many parents rely on the lunch programs provided by their schools, not everyone can pack their kids a bento box with sustainably raised chicken breasts and quinoa. I am getting a little sick and tired of having to explain common courtesy to people. Once you start to screw around with the well-being of poor children, who already suffer far more than other being on the planet, you have a special place on my shit list. I will no longer be silent. Hoarders suck. Dick around on youtube all you want, but keep that shit at home.
