Good analogy I saw (and since that tweet came out, it's now down to -37)

Let's imagine you're running a bar and you've got steady supply of customers so you make contract with brewery. They will deliver you 500 gallons of beer every week no matter what. Suddenly most of your customers are gone, but the beer kegs keep piling on. You fill the storages you have, there's that. Can't fit more in cleaning cabin or the bar.

But trucks bringing new kegs will keep pouring in. It's more expensive to cut the contract than to keep the kegs coming, so you just stack the kegs outside and tell people to come and take it. The problem is that there's really no capacity to take all the beerkegs anywhere.

Now, the cops walk by and see 1000 kegs outside your store and tell you you gotta get rid of it or you're gonna get fined and maybe shut down. Meanwhile another delivery arrives. You're desperate now.

You have to call people up and offer to pay them to take the kegs. Unfortunately, you find out other people also filled up all their storage with kegs too, and nobody wants to come take your shit, even if you pay them $10, $15, $20.

You are now standing on the street corner offering to pay literally anyone to take the kegs... and you're offering $20 (more than what you paid for it) for someone to god damn please come take these kegs I'll freaking pay you absolutely anything I swear to god! YOU! Take this keg! I'll give you $35! COME ON! PLEASE GOD DAMNIT!
