I don't see how JIT make people richer. When a shortage arose wouldn't it make them poorer? It did. The problem is the shortage--the social affects. That's up to our government to prevent.

If you have the money there is no shortage of cars. Is it fair, what's fair?

Then things go bad there is less supply. That means higher prices as people compete. There's no fix to that--shit happens. Is it fair, what is fair?

Your house went up. Is it fair, what is fair?

Capitalism is neither fair nor unfair. What's unfair is inherited wealth. But no one touches that with a 10-foot pole.
