I’m not spreading misinformation. On the contrary, your link validates what I said.

Countering misinformation is good, but please don’t call it misinformation if you don’t understand what the text you link says.

Prices need to be able to increase beyond just any cost increases from the TP manufacturer. Without freedom to set prices as desired, we will continue to have shortages.

The prices can increase for any labor or material costs for both manufacturing and transit. If you can prove that your increased prices are due to increased costs you can raise prices as much as you wish. The only thing this prevents is increased profit in times of crises.

Preventing increased profit means no increase in supply.
