> We don't tolerate people hoarding other scarcities

Can you give me an example of something we don't tolerate being hoarded? I genuinely can't think of anything. People seem to be allowed to accumulate whatever they can afford to, if they choose to. If it's on the market, that is.

Utilities in most of europe are de-monopolized. You can choose any ISP or power provider. Mobile networks is exception for some weird reason.

Notable because the ultimate solution for PPE was 'build more'.

Outside of a few token busts on random idiots, and a few temporary limitations on Amazon purchases, anti-hoarding measures weren't the effective solution.
