Here's what running out of oxygen would mean:

Nurse in Egypt ICU collapses as oxygen ran out and all covid patients died.

If you've ever asked yourself 'How bad can it get' then you really need to watch this short clip.

My first wife had high cheekbones like that and she was drop-dead beautiful. My present wife does not have high cheekbones and she is infinitely more beautiful.

It's Christmas week, you're 18 years old, 4,000 miles from your family and friends, and it's freezing cold.

By the afternoon of December 21, 1944, all seven main roads to Bastogne were cut off by German troops, and by midnight American units in the city were surrounded. They were outnumbered by about five to one and also lacked warm clothing. They also had so little supplies and ammunition that on December 22, 1944, artillery ammunition was limited to ten rounds per gun per day.

Bad weather meant that the defenders of the city could not be supported or supplied by the air. The Germans had also captured most of the Allied medical supplies and personnel. The situation looked bleak, but they held their ground. In an attempt to change the situation, German General von Lütwitz sent a surrender message to the "USA Commander" on December 22, 1944, at 11:30 am, delivered by four of his men under a white flag. General Anthony McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne Division, still half asleep read the note and exclaimed "Aw, nuts." So they wrote: “To the German commander. NUTS! The American commander.”

Sears and Roebuck did something equally sinister back in the 50s and 60s. Here is their scam.

They order a modest number of red wagons. They sell out so the next year the order is doubled. In the third year, the order jumps 10 fold so the owner of the red wagon manufacturing company has to expand his business and buy new machinery. The next year Sears orders none. But the manufacturer borrowed money to expand his facility and goes bankrupt. That's when Sears swoops in and buys the factory, machinery and rehires most of the staff and now Sears manufactures their own red wagons.

They used this method for batteries, tires, tools, etc.
