<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 5290277, member: 2098&quot;]I see where you&#039;re coming from but this line of thinking is duly misguided. This can be said for all collectors who use their essentially excess wealth of whatever amount, from whatever sources, to buy coins. I mean, how is this different when someone uses their savings to buy coins when they could just as well not buy said coins and use it to help those in need?</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;m not sure if you&#039;re referring to the world in general but there is a lot of support and resources in Western countries to help those in need. There are soup kitchens, food banks, EBT cards, etc. Believe it or not but most grocery stores are horribly wasteful. Such stores throw out blocks of perfectly good cheese into dumpsters and do the same with perfectly good &quot;day old&quot; bread. And the perfectly good bottles of orange juice that are out of date on the label by a day? Straight to the dumpster.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where your energy, in my view, could be more constructively focused: reforming the wasteful culture of grocery stores and the needlessly excessive food waste overall in wealthy countries. Those who want to use their stimulus checks to buy coins? It&#039;s not something I&#039;d worry about too much in the grand scheme of things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
