But if we created it at the dramatically and artificially increased demand that it has right now, it would be disastrous for that industry once this panic subsides. Imagine the increase in infrastructure these companies would have to build to keep up with this fake supply. The workers, the real estate, the building of supply chains and machinery. Now imagine what happens to that industry when suddenly the market's demand tanks back to a reasonable level, and there's suddenly not only far more capacity for production that is now unprofitable, there's a huge backlog of supply already in the hands of consumers.

This situation is just as bad for the manufacturer as it is for the consumer.
