    True… we’re not even feeling sorry for people starving half as much as hoarders

    There’s enough hoarders that We have shows about hoarders.

      The worst hoarders are the financial hoarders. If someone hoards cats, or old rusty cars, or newspapers, etc., someone gets them psychiatric help.

      But if you have a compulsion to hoard money to the point that it is having a negative effect on the entire nation, or even the planet, then they get celebrated as a successful businessperson, and the government shovels even more of our hard-earned money at them.

      I’m tired of supporting mentally-ill money hoarders. Take their money away, and medicate them.

      Even worse we actively try to make sure they don’t go to our country, because we all know how much we did to become part of our own country (this is sarcasm because we did nothing at all, being born is not something we chose to do)
