Certainly. All part of the way it works.
Limits on purchases might not be totally insane in some cases, but the moral outrage at “profiteering” doesn’t sit well with me.
Eggs at $1.25 a dozen: you have one choice: no eggs.
$5.00 (for example): two choices.
I agree about the moral outrage. It is in my genes to have options, that requires putting some forethought into having resources for disruptions of normal situations. Like carrying snow chains in your car during Winter.
