>Perhaps the law we need is one to control hoarding behavior or the rate of change.
Aside from an authoritarian system of governance where all purchases are tracked, and one must only purchase their "allotted" amount of goods, how exactly would one control hoarding?
i hope you are not proposing such a dystopian future.
There are obvious ways to cheat it, but it still means more people end up with TP. You don't have to go full police state to make the distribution of goods more even.
But that voluntary action by individuals, in the context of our discussion here we are talking about laws and government regulation, not voluntary actions by business.
It is perfectly fine for a business to choose to only sell 1 package per customer
It is not fine for government to mandate a business only sell 1 package per customer.

The idea that people are hoarding right now simply because they want to resell the goods to others is moronic on many levels
People are hoarding right now because they believe they may be months with out a supply of the good, so they are buying in multiples of normal levels fully expecting they will use it themselves, not reselling
Well then good news, because it turns out you don't need an authoritarian government, just your local supermarket chain to decide that they'd prefer to retain their existing customer base:
