Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

I for one know how to do this. Although machine tools are nice, and can be built in sequence
from crude wooden lathes, to more and more sophisticated machinery, making such
"real" nuts and bolt -- assuming the energy, and materials are available -- requires
nothing more than patience, a measuring scale, and some files. One can make any
tooling and parts with raw materials and those few tools. These few tools can initially
be rocks. (Ever hear of a grinding stone?)

Currently, it is still quite easy to spot CGI because the objects are too perfect and clean. Everything looks like it is brand new. Of course, if you are doing an ad shoot you try to make everything look perfect, but there is not a hint of imperfection anywhere in the image. _________________ It's all downhill from here
