I mean, it is kind of shitty, no? Surely we can do better as a society... Is the optimal state for corporations to hoard when times are good and then to feast when times are bad, killing off their smaller rivals?

In the extreme case of this, we end up in a world where quick trip buys up all available fuel during a hurricane...

I agree we can do better (and we will), but other than small incremental improvements, I personally have not seen a compelling full refactoring that would be objectively better yet.

There's a lot of moving parts... the good of everyone vs the good of the individual vs the good of the present vs the good of the future. All of that is clouded by people with poor reasoning or malicious reasoning, and the fact that nobody can predict the future, and nobody wants to be held accountable if something fails.
