Realistically we shouldn’t need laws for this. We should all just vote with our wallets. If we can’t own then you go out of business.

However there should be laws against companies changing the terms of the contract after sale.

The wealthy want you to vote with your wallet, as there is nothing they fear more than "one man, one vote."
