Bad things happen when demand outstrips supply. We learned that lesson too well at the start of the pandemic, when demand for toilet paper, disinfecting wipes, masks, and ventilators outstripped the available supply. Clearly, balancing the supply and demand of goods is critical for a stable, normal, functional society.
