If you are poor and hoard hand sanitizer to sell, the internet will hunt you down and take it. If you’re poor and wear a mask people yell at you to save them for doctors. If you’re wealthy you can sell N95 masks in a frenzied market to overseas buyers:https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2020/03/30/i-spent-a-day-in-the-coronavirus-driven-feeding-frenzy-of-n95-mask-sellers-and-buyers-and-this-is-what-i-learned/#274df6256d44 …

You have been had y’all. There plenty of masks. You just can’t afford them, and telling you to “save them for hospitals” is mostly just making you frel like you’re doing something to help when it does nothing. There was 43 MILLION masks in NJ while you were told there’s ZERO.pic.twitter.com/KE5zK8JiLW

All the masks this guy sells went to foreign buyers with more money than the hospitals. Damn. Maybe we need to start calling masks “crypto” so the FBI will want to prevent people from selling it overseas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein_v._United_States …pic.twitter.com/qzwhPwLbJy

I’m going to suggest a theory: I think that some of the large stockpiles of masks being sold overseas are secretly owned by hospitals or similar health business. You wait. We’ll find out the 43 million masks in NJ were actually owned by an insurance company or hospital network.

Finally, remember citizens that if a Target wants to sell N95 masks that a normal person can buy they will get confiscated. Only wealthy foreign countries get to buy masks.
