We talk about supply and demand

Always when this is spoken about it is to justify price rises.
Is it so the producers can continue to make their usual profits?
There are fewer places to rent, why does that justify landlords hiking rents, 10,15, 20%?
If there are fewer cars making it to the market, why does it mean that the prices for those that are available have to be so much more expensive?
Can someone explain to me this price gouging that is going on?

The profit motive.

@Bretrick I can cope with market forces and all that, but its the Just In Time method of replenishing the stock on the shelves, because in my arear of GBplc, its not working at all well. Time after time I see empty shelves, then when tacking customer services, I’m told the delivery is 3 days overdue :point_right: So it’s not ruddy well just in time, is it Supermarket :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
