On a side note, one could argue that if we didn't have these sorts of "anti price-gauging" price-controls, the market would more readily keep itself open and malleable to quickly ramping up production to items whose price is spiking. I.e. if there is money to be had by jumping on "hot" production items, then there is utility in spending money on being able to jump on it when needed.

So perhaps right now the supply chain isn't able to do this, but that doesn't mean it can't move towards it.
