[QUOTE="Raingull, post: 2734403, member: 125008"] The economics certainly support supply and demand, as they always have. You'd think wars never happened and production never ramped up to meet demand to hear these conspiracy deniers tell it! You cite years of buying pressure and in the next breath pretend there is no need to actually produce more because it's just people who want it for the wrong reasons because they aren't supposed to want that much for some odd reason. As if nobody bought powder in 8lb lots before Joe Biden was elected POTUS. Sure there is speculation, there always has been and always will be profiteering when supplies are tight (you cannot excuse it from Hodgdon and then ridicule it from individuals)... Want to know the answer to that? More production. Aside from greed there is no other reason for the shortages years on. Not that their ongoing PR campaign would let you see what's right in front of you. As to collusion, every economics class will tell you that the market will respond to demand. Years on why hasn't the market responded? Collusion. We literally have the (almost fully monopolized) market telling us they are not going to respond! Collusion is the only thing that explains years of demand without a response on the supply side. [/QUOTE]
