It's not irrational - it's division of labor. You going to build petrol storage tanks on your property? Generators for electricity? Independent backbone connections to the internet? Water purification plant? Production of this stuff scales.
That wasn't irrational - that was a real shortage because there's far less consumer grade tp manufactured than total tp and the entire demand shifted to the consumer market all at once. (Markets *can* solve that problem but USG acts erratically when prices rise)
