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.
demand decreasing doesn't cause a reduced supply.
one easy way to gauge demand would be price.
the price of Faberge eggs varies, but even when it increases, indicating an increase in demand, no more are produced. and by contrast upon a price decrease, no causal mechanism reduces the supply. qed.
So, where are the warehouses full of unsold eggs that are constantly filling up waiting for your point to land?
I just showed that supply is not dependent on demand.
You did not. But thanks for playing.
anyone can read what was said. denying it is silly.
you haven't provided a method to test your hypothesis.
