SHORTAGES ARE CAUSED BY PRICES BEING TOO LOW

SHORTAGES ARE CAUSED BY PRICES BEING TOO LOW.
It's supply and demand. When there is an increase in demand the price needs to rise to match it to prevent shortages. Price gouging laws make shortages far worse.

Honestly you people laugh at toilet paper hoarders, but you really dont have enough toilet paper yourselves. The average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month. TP rolls will be worth their weight in gold in a few months, because everyone needs it.

You can wipe your ass with literally anything else.

ancaps literally have the worst opinions on everything

>HURR PRICE GOUGING IS GOOD MUH MARKET

Americans are so retarded

>the average person uses 1 roll per day
Did you mean to type "per week"?

>Toilet paper has become a meme

Clown world is best world

One roll per day god damn you are wasteful. You only poop like twice a day how much do you have to wipe?

>1 roll a day
Lmao fatties are gonna die.

must suck being a digestlet

>average person uses 1 roll per day. If you have a family of 4, that's 28 rolls a week. Over 100 a month.

Jesus user how many shits a day do you do. These numbers are insanely high and completely not normal. Too much curry. hahaha.

10/10

>Worried about Coronavirus, stocks up on toilet paper
>Doesn't care about being in that close proximity around other people to buy said toilet paper

>Anything the government touches goes to shit.

How about that.

>Not buying your TP off amazon

Literal poorfags

A massive rise in price won't cause supply to materialize out of thin air you kike-pitalist.

Just more evidence that this board is full of Pajeets shitting all day. 1 roll per day? Are you serious? How many shits does one need to take to use up 1 roll every day?

It would prevent people from buying more than they need.

>The average person uses 1 roll per day.
Maybe in America.

they look like lemmings, rats, cockroaches and locusts,...
fucking disgusting

no wonder the elites have such loathing and disgust for the lower classes

like your worthless dollarydoos pretty soon

correct...higher prices create incentives to create more products. "anti-gouging" laws just produce empty shelves.

There is no shortage you dipshit. 90% of toilet paper is USA made with the remaining 10% from Canada.
>were gonna run out of trees bro!!!!!

new bait & pasta

It would change nothing. The elite would just end up sucking up the supply and further tightening their dominance on the markets

>imagine buying toilet paper

waste of money desu

i just shit before i shower. almost never have to shit more than once a day

Ya the elites would totally send their goons around to every supermarket to buy up all of the toilet paper.

no argument

Are you living under a rock? TP is cleared everywhere because people gawk and laugh at prepping culture. Instead of healthily buying extra for storage year round a bit at a time, normies just dry out the supply in a complete frenzy.

I'm not saying TP production will stop, itll actually probably 8x. But le free hand will just make kikes turbo jump the prices and cash in on an epidemic

I don't get it why toilet paper? I'm stocking up on rice,canned goods, and freezing large amounts of meat that I bought for cheap. A gun is a much better thing to have in times like this. With gun you can shoot 100 toilet paper hoarders and take their toilet paper. With toilet paper you're at the mercy of someone deciding if they should just kill you and take your toilet paper or take it at gunpoint

What if they wipe you out before you fire the trigger?

Elites view the world through the optics of "how can I make money off of this" it doesnt matter if the nation is in complete chaos and shambles. The markets will always take precedent over a functioning society

>The average person uses 1 roll per day
See a doctor. I use 1 roll every 2 weeks and that's with shitting 2 times per day.

Sheep herd mentality. Water is clearing out, not water filters. N95s are selling out, not house filters. Canned foods are getting nuked, but pasta, rice, and oats are all in good supply.

I'm wondering about this.
Lots of news sources keep saying there is no toilet paper shortage, there are tons of stock as it is manufactured locally, and that people are just buying it up faster than the supermarkets could refill shelves or even faster than truck deliveries could arrive.

But that there is no actual shortage.

This should mean that if you buy online, you can buy as much as you want, with no lines no fighting no hassle. And you'll get it, no problem.
Anyone here tried it?
Is toilet paper easily bought online from sites like online groceries?

I don't live in burgerland so I can't tell, we have plenty of toilet paper in our supermarkets, no retarded tp hoarding here (alcohol/hand sanitizer on the other hand...)

Charmin, cashmir, and Kirkland have all already gouged their prices online

>1 roll/day
Based explosive diarrhea user

Yeah I've got enough water filters to last me a year. Just went to store to buy 10 lbs of pasta and like 20-30 cans of vegetables. Meanwhile I see people buying big cases of water and fucking eggs that will last them 2 weeks at most. Rice was all gone though gonna have to go to Costco for that

This is a market failure. The TP wholesalers couldn't raise prices in line with the new demand fast enough, so middlemen stepped in and bought up the supply to arbitrage themselves.

Its societal failure and laughing and prepper culture

>SHORTAGES ARE CAUSED BY PRICES BEING TOO LOW.
this is stupid, tomorrow supermarket are going to be empty cause everybody hoarded in one day
overall demand is not going to change, it's not that people will start wiping their ass more than before
SO WHAT HAPPENS IN ONE WEEK WHEN SUPERMARKET ARE DESERT, WE DROP PRICES TO ZERO?
OP IS AN ATOMIC FUCKING RETARD

Shortages of essentials when future supply is in question demands rationing. If everyone doesn't have the bare minimum of essentials, output will decrease as will the supply of labor.

That webm reminds me of SimAnt

How many people died in this webm?

because of credit cards raising the price is useless, the faggots buying toilet paper by kgs won't be stopped because you raised the danm price, they are on end of the world mode

They make shortages worse while improving social cohesion. It's an answer designed to assuage social and political dilemmas caused by shortages.

>The average person uses 1 roll per day.

lmao what

One roll a day?

user, maybe you have the coronavirus, better get yourself checked out.

amazon is out of toilet paper as well.

>1 roll a day
Holy fuck how much are people using, I use like 1 roll a week

One roll a day? Jesus you should get that checked up or eat a lot less you fat stupid fuck.

Based, I eat exclusively 7 pounds of fiber each day an drink 3 gallons of water.

Price gouging laws are so fucking retarded. I'm not even a free market guy. Who cares about something being 10x the price if the alternative is it not even being in stock?

Just go into the forest and collect some leaves, how is toilet paper even real

It's called usury and it's the inverse sin of Sodomy. Sodomy takes something fertile(sex) and makes it infertile. Usury takes something sterile(money) and makes it fertile.

i have a veritable selection of leaves in the backyard to choose from.

Except its not. Its called the supply curve. It costs more money per unit to increase the supply, so suppliers have to charge more to increase supply.

Think of the gas shortages in storms. A lot of times people will truck gas from other areas. It costs a lot to do this, so they have to charge more. But people are happy to pay because otherwise they'd have no gas. But in places with price gouge laws, you can't do this, so no one has gas.

One roll a day!? What the fuck Pajeet?!

The supply doesn't change just because it changes hands, it's simply the new seller upcharging.

>The average person uses 1 roll per day
Just think about the implications of this
I don't know about you, but I only have one bowel movement per day. I don't think that's peculiar, but let's say it is and that the average is FOUR shits per day (seems utterly unrealistic to me but I'm being as sympathetic as possible)
If I'm understanding the packaging on my toilet paper, it has ~350 squares of toilet paper per roll. Let's again say that's unusual and that the average figure is 200.
In order to go through a roll in a single day, you'd need to use FIFTY squares of toilet paper for every single one of your four-times-daily shits.
And again, this was using incredibly conservative estimates.
Something is seriously wrong with you if you are having messy enough shits four times a day that you need an enormous wad of toilet paper to get your asshole clean every single time.

>"Uh oh, there's a pandemic, we need to prep!"
>hoards toilet paper and nothing else

Why are the goym so retarded?
