A lesson everyone should have learned from the toilet paper scarcity crisis during the pandemic is that it doesn't matter if it's rational or smart, if you want to keep your ass clean make sure you're in the front of a line when people are panicking.

You could make a pretty compelling argument that the last decade the entire tech sector has been propped up by "dumb exuberance", but people aren't complaining about the money they made during that period.

If you can tell that people are panicking, you're not at the front of the line.
