increasing prices on toilet paper would have fixed the supply problem for the rich. It would have likely done nothing for actually increasing the distribution problem of supplying everyone with some adequate amount of toilet paper. Nor would it have likely increased the capacity of toilet paper manufacture in the long term. Maybe variable pricing might have worked - price x for the first n rolls a and higher prices thereafter.
