Letter: Hoarding shows the depth of your paranoia
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Shoppers in line at the Salt Lake City Costco location on Monday, March 16, 2020.
To all the people who are emptying all the grocery shelves of everything from bread to toilet paper: It’s called hoarding.
Why on Earth would you need two years worth of toilet paper? All that bread is just going to go to waste.
Just stop it. You may have the resources to hoard, but a lot of people do not. Think of the poor and the elderly. It's just ridiculous and really shows the depth of your paranoia.
David G. Payne, Salt Lake City
