    So if something disrupts the ability to meet demand, that will always cause an even greater demand in the form of buying today for future needs in response to shortages or rising prices.

    I was reading an article about Johnny Carson today,, (I went to high school with his last wife,,)

    Anyways,, Johnny jokingly mentioned that there was a toilet paper shortage on his show back in 1973,,

    Within days, the ENTIRE country was sold out of toilet paper,,,

    A shortage does not take much to start,,,
