Contrary to popular belief...

podinium
- podrock -
12/22/2022 4:34:12 AM
podinium is basically worthless
- podrock -
12/22/2022 4:49:10 AM
Your point?
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 5:09:08 AM
My point.
- podrock -
12/22/2022 5:22:48 AM
If something has no value it's demand is zero, according to the Law of S&D.
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 5:39:02 AM
Value is often an illusion.
- podrock -

One man's treasure is another man's trash
- BuckGalaxy -

Demand can be created, is what I am saying.
- podrock -
12/23/2022 1:31:42 AM
and what I'm saying is that doesn't matter
- BuckGalaxy -
12/24/2022 1:56:26 AM
Only it does matter

12/25/2022 12:08:32 AM
Here's the thing about the epipen
- podrock -
12/25/2022 1:28:52 AM
It's a simplification BUT
- BuckGalaxy -
12/24/2022 6:54:21 AM
If value is assigned it exists.
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 5:32:04 AM
Assigned? By whom?
- podrock -
12/22/2022 9:03:21 PM
by whoever wants it
- BuckGalaxy -

Economics is not physics

In your defense
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 3:05:57 AM
We've covered this before, but you refused to accept it.

As for ice cream...

You get it right?

Sorry if I'm coming across as a dick
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 5:10:14 PM
No offense taken. I'm having fun.

Free market fundamentalists...
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 5:50:49 PM
Now you're making sense.
- ER -
12/22/2022 5:52:39 PM
No

"Naturally move to where demand wants them"
- podrock -
12/22/2022 8:45:39 PM
Please research this
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 11:10:09 PM
Example: Pet Rocks.
- podrock -
12/23/2022 2:45:35 AM
The reason they want it is irrelevant.
- BuckGalaxy -
12/24/2022 1:45:43 AM
Goods do not naturally flow to demand.
- podrock -
12/23/2022 1:30:49 AM
That's like saying water doesn't flow downhill

Marxism is a system to change outcomes
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 5:56:07 PM
Your idea of what Marxism is
- ER -
12/22/2022 6:05:35 PM
I took political economy in my Senior year from a marxist
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 7:58:23 PM
Look around you

Any sensible person believes Capitalism needs rules
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 10:54:36 PM
Did your Marxist professor tell you about the Anarchists?
- ER -

Yes, it is.
- podrock -
12/22/2022 9:21:38 PM
sigh
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 11:15:23 PM
Its frustrating because we're talking about two different things.
- ER -
12/22/2022 5:30:21 PM
We're getting somewhere
- BuckGalaxy -
12/22/2022 11:27:27 PM
No, what I'm saying is...
- ER -
12/23/2022 1:48:51 AM
Honestly
