The stores engaged in profiteering from this outbreak should not only be prosecuted, but they should repeatedly be named and shamed after this is all over.
I couldn't disagree more.

And I notice you didn't quote or comment on the second half of what I said.

Why would TP manufacturers triple their efforts to re-stock the supply? Why pay massive overtime, or pay increased prices for the raw materials, or pay top dollar during a peak need for extra trucks if they're only going to be able to charge the normal amount?

Free market causes fully stocked shelves. Price controls [[I.E. Communism) causes empty shelves.
