Call it selfish, inconsiderate, etc., but at the end of the day, it is what it is and I gotta do what I gotta do. I don't WANT to load up, I don't WANT to nearly max out 2 credit cards with $15k limits on them each, I don't WANT to spend almost half of my stimulus check the day I get it, but in the midst of a crisis, and seeing everyday items that were once plentiful but now scarce, survival instincts kick in.

JAR, not trying to pick an e-fight with you, as I have high regards and respect for you, amongst some of the other members also. IMO, this is a sink-or-swim situation we are all in globally and on an individual level.
