But then you're still expecting something implausible to happen, because everybody knows there is a shortage of masks and they're needed by healthcare workers, so the chances that 100% of millionaires will disregard that and buy masks they don't need is negligible.

The majority of millionaires in the US are ordinary retirees who fully own their homes and have a decent amount in their 401k

I'm not sure what that has to do with them not buying masks
