We live in a market based economy, when the issue spans the continent and world there is no utility in trying to disrupt that market. It is a distraction and misallocation of public resources to attempt to do so.

The "hoarders" were taking just as big of a risk as the people that took the risk to create and sell.

You are missing the point that the necessary stock did not exist. Pointing the finger at people hoarding supplies merely deflects the incompetence to a phantom boogeyman.
