Newfoundland has a hard bread shortage, but why do they eat it?

  Wow, this is actually interesting, I had not heard of people eating hard attack since the American Civil War. But looking at a map, it doesn't look that difficult to get to, so I'm curious why not just fly it in?

  &gt;Grocery stores across Newfoundland and Labrador have been struggling to keep hard bread in stock since a fire at the Purity factory in March put a crimp in the company’s baking operations.<p>Is it really that hard to raise the price to keep it in stock?

    Raising the price doesn&#x27;t increase the supply, it just selects who can access it. Most of the people will still not get it, just for a different reason.

      A higher margin increases the incentive for people to make more, though.

      That implies that everything with a price is always out of stock.

        It implies no such thing.

        No, it implies that everything with a price and a supply issue will likely still face that supply issue even with a higher price.

          Everything with a price has a supply issue.
