It makes it easier to boycott when shelves are empty. Sort of like passing up my favorite dessert when our local bakery shop is out of eclairs. The issue is sharing what we may have had the luxury to squirrel away with those who have been unable to stock up. Our immediate area doesn't have people on fixed incomes or who are underpaid; however, several nearby churches are collecting food, baby products, pet food, toiletries and cleaning items. They know what is needed and are happy to receive donations. We are all going to have to support one another.
