Apparently the fact that all other TP factories went bankrupt (or were prevented from being created by the loving government), so there is just one and it cannot produce enough of paper to satisfy demand, is not a hard proof of a total failure of government's policy. If the government was doing nothing wrong in the first place, why would there ever be a situation like this?

I really doubt if this factory's owners somehow unfairly prevent competitors from jumping in and satisfying demand. And if they do, most probably they use government as a nice tool to regulate competition out of existence.

In other words: whenever something globally shitty happens for no obvious reason, it's always a government and its monopoly of violence at fault.
