That's hilarious!

Starting in about 2011, various agencies started banning the sale
products containing lead.  That included the common 63/37 lead tin
solder in common use in electronics.  The various lead-free solders
were marginal replacements at best.  So, I decided to stock up on
rolls of 63/37 solder, which I was assured would soon be unavailable
for retail purchase.  Despite the ban, 63/37 is still commonly
available today.

At my rate of consumption, I have about a 50 year supply.

When California introduced a ban on VoC (volatile organic compounds),
I was caught by surprise and did not have time to stock up on
important chemicals.  I only had what was left on my shelf, which I
still use today (until I run out).  Every few years, the various EPA's
(environmental protection agencies) add products and chemicals deemed
harmful to the environment.  Added to the list are now TAC's (toxic
air chemicals) and GHG's (green house gases).  I've been doing a
little hoarding, but with the wide range of banned products, this has
become difficult.
