For me, the difference between ration and hoard is the uhh…rationality of the plan. Rationing suggests a deliberate, calculated plan: we’ll eat this much at these particular times so our food lasts that long. Hoard seems more ad hoc and fear-driven: better keep yet another beat-up VGA cable, just in case. | |||||||||||||||||
