Stopping Grench Bots Act

Lawmakers are introducing legislation that aims to make it illegal for people to use automated bots to buy up retail goods. At issue is the fact that when certain products are on the verge of exploding popularity or demand, some folks who have a lot of money will use bots to buy them and then sell them off at auction sites. This proposed legislation has the cute nickname of stopping grench bots act. For who are unaware, the grench is a character from a doctor sus book, and he famously invades a small town to steal all the christmas presents on christmas eve.
