I have been through multiple natural disasters in the Houston Texas area over some years and I have seen first hand that these price caps cause shortages resulting in people that need supplies not being able to obtain them. The people wanted price caps in the name of preventing price gouging and the state state obliged: the majority of people get nothing and everyone is happy.
