Stop. Trying. To. Fix. Prices.

The only way to "fix" prices is to increase supply, which the plan does really well otherwise!

This was the subject of extensive proof in a recent HN thread, where shockingly... the only thing that moved the needle was... shockingly... increasing supply. No matter of "well yeah, but we can do it differently this time" will fix it. You can only increase supply. Its the only lever you have.
