The Takings Clause
Another important constitutional safeguard for property is the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause, which states that “private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation.” On the one hand, the Takings Clause reaffirms the traditional government right of “eminent domain,” that is, the power to seize property for certain purposes. On the other hand, the Clause includes two important conditions: first, the property must be taken for “public use,” secondly, the property owner must receive “just compensation.”
 
They are trying to shred the Constitution every day. Look at 2a . What is the future going to hold for the rest after/if they succeed on the second ? They 4th, the first? All?
Things to think about.
 
This is exactly why you keep your pie hole shut about what you own.

It's amazing that the government has huge stockpiles of oil, but not medical supplies.
Its all a matter of what’s important. At no time have we ever been so short of med equip on a national level. You can bet your arse it will be stockpiled now.
 
Not sure, if they were seizing stuff without paying for it, it would be a lot worse. On the other hand, people hoarding and price gouging on medical supplies that are really needed is a pretty low life occupation.

On balance I don't mind the scum being pushed aside, on the other, government taking privately owned property is always concerning.
Concerning is not the right word. Wrong is the right word

It's happened before with folks' 401K savings in other countries. Just do like they do...
