> a) not enough toilet paper exists to satisfy genuine demand > b) in order to meet that demand, they need to raise prices I am claiming that there is not enough local capacity to satisfy a very very short term local demand. And that an increase in prices can help satisfy the local capacity issue. IE, if there is a bunch of supply in a different place, transporting that is possible, but costs money. (I should have just talked about transportation, now that I think about it. The "problem" is actually way more short term than something where factory hours matter at all) > Do you disagree with that? My main argument that I attempted and failed to communicate is actually more that freaking out about "hoarders" is really silly, and that none of this is actually a big deal. The amount of time that these local shortages last, is measured in days, before the next shipment arrives. Which is why enforcement of this law is misguided. It is making a huge deal of an extremely minimal issue. Worst case scenario, some people have to wait a couple days for the store to get the shipment in, or they have to travel a half hour to the nearest Costco. Not a big deal.
