So central planning? “Regulations state that all manufacturers must maintain 30 days inventory of critical supplies”.

That would just make things worse.

Nowadays even something as banal as collecting taxes is considered central planning... the word lost its meaning very quickly.

I don't know why people demand even more "free market" when governments spent 40 years giving more power to the private sector.

I always wonder why Americans jump from one extreme to another. There are plenty of solutions in between free market and central planning, you know?

Of course there is. But directing how much inventory a company has to hold seems a bit more invasive than say, demanding a company can't dump chemicals on the ground?
