In fact if I were Trump, I’d call in all the big box people, Walmart, Costco etc and tell them to tell to immediately develop *temporary* policies where the panicked and greedy can only have two cases of water per person or 3 bottles of hand sanitizer, etc...No more BS where ya see people rolling out with 3 full baskets of tissues, water, sanitizer etc.
I’d put of quick stop to that nonsense.
The Costco I go to already has, along with many other stores.
No.
NO NO and NO
Absolutely NOT.
Same with our Costco. Limits on water, TP and other products. Ditto our local Smiths.
hoarding too!
Most stores are already doing that.
WHAT,are you Serious
Yes. The fear-based panic-buyers are the ones creating that which they claim to fear - the shortages.
It’s fine. It makes people feel like they have some control. Face it, purchasing water? Toilet paper? What does either have to do with this flu.
Costco on Eubank was swarmed yesterday so I didn’t bother. Smiths on the east edge of town, long lines, some sold out stuff, but everyone very friendly and chatty in that New Mexican way. One transplant from Florida said it was cool because they didn’t have to line up for plywood and tarps line in hurricane country.
Nope.
No— it’s a manufactured crisis. Let the market sort it out. And let the crazies that are hording reap what they sow. If anything, producers will ramp up until the free market settles down. The leftist media is fanning the flames on this. Put the blame where it belongs.
Years but I think I would increase those to maybe, 10 each.
Less if they themselves have a shortage.
Nope. No need for stupid interventions into the market.
So.....you are not a capitalist, I assume?
Why?
And under what possible authority would it be legal?
Um, hell no.
Are we trying to be like Venezuela?
