Yeah, that's high school macro. I didn't need an explanation, but it seems that you do.

Optimally distributing fewer goods isn't a solution to the problem. The problem is a shortage.

I still don't see how reducing demand isn't a solution to excess demand. I'm honestly confused and would be happy if you could take the time to explain.
