    There should’ve been a reasonable per person limit put in place February. All this was so foreseeable.https://twitter.com/mathewi/status/1238506407902818308 …

        By the way, a good portion of online ads I’ve seen for the past month have been for masks. I asked a while back if Google could come down on that. (They’re ads through Google ad companies). (All of this should’ve been done in February.)

        I’ve been teaching and researching and writing about pandemics for more than a decade. Here’s my article from seven years ago that explains this moment.

        Thankfully this kind of limiting has definitely been done at most markets in the UK.

        Really? You asked Joe Biden about this and he's all for price-gouging? Myself I'm more concerned about RU Bernie-bots taking over the country than socialism.

        This is completely on Costco. If it wasn’t this slimeball it would have been another one. So easy to limit quantity.
