Yeah Ferrari famously limited their output back in the late '90s when Enzo died so they could scalp more per car. You could bid your way to the front of the line, etc. Scarcity is definitely a business model. Lookin' at you, Pappy Van Winkle, you overrated Tennessee-tastin' asshole. Every time Republicans decide to profit off something on Maszlow's Heirarchy it ends badly. It might not crash immediately, but the crash is profound. I guess it makes a select few steenking rich until the cards blow over so it was all worth it in the end.
