all the people involved in those markets were making decisions distinct from the people making decisions in the milk market. I dont think we can find anything so conclusive.
Here's the test, everyone stops buying milk. Go.
did it work?
You still don't understand basic markets, huh. That's unfortunate.
I'm not going to believe something without evidence. your hand waiving is not evidence, and historical data about irrational actors is not predictive about the future of those same markets. it can't be reliable evidence about the future in a separate market.
calling me names won't change the truth.
The truth is whatever you believe regardless of evidence, clearly.
such an experiment would have no bearing on a separate product in a separate market.
Produce milk then, I'll wait.
others already do that. no need for me to undertaking such an endeavor. the problem is that we don't have a method to reduce demand. you haven't even produced a method to measure demand.
You have changed the argument from: demand decreasing does not reduce supply. To: we can't reduce demand. Do you see the flaws in your argument yet?
I'm not constructing an argument
I'm deconstructing one.
I anyone can see exactly what happened in this thread, and if you're disinterested, you needn't reply.
