4. I have a question too

All of those poor people without insurance -- they have lost EVERYTHING, while the store owners are typically 100% insured.

As for perishibles and drinks, I have absolutely zero problem with that being taken under these circumstances.

8. Looting is an acceptable downward redistribution which maximizes utility

since anarchy is viewed by many to be negative in an orderly society it has many opponents. However such order is impossible following the aftermath of such a calamity.

9. i think it's a matter of survival

it's a matter of life or death--if the stores could open people would purchase what they need and it would be business as usual.

obviously it is not business as usual.

i have my own business and if i owned a store in a location that would be of assistance in a situation such as this i would have no problem with people going in and taking anything they might need or could use to help them survive this catastrophe.
