In times of national emergency, make bulk buying essential items illegal
In times of national and global crisis, such as the ongoing covid 19 outbreak. We as people all need to work together to ensure our health and survival, particularly of those who are vulnerable. To that end I am asking that the government make bulk buying illegal to ensure everybody has enough.
To ensure everybody has access to the essential items they need and to stop people hoarding goods that they may not need or profiteering from other peoples misfortune.
