Can you cite me saying you still "Have the cake"

2019-12-03 17:17:09 UTC  

Well there was this

2019-12-03 17:17:22 UTC  

And then when I pressed further you went into a non-sequitur

Stating I want both does not mean I have both.

2019-12-03 17:18:27 UTC  

Also that would not be a non-sequitur as I am staying on topic and stating that I would have the same visual experience in essence whether I have the photo of the real thing.

2019-12-03 17:20:57 UTC  

Well, firstly, again, I didn't say anything about the visual experience. Is the "visual experience" the only thing that makes having a cake worthwhile? What about the olfactory experience? The tactile experience? The gustatory experience? You can't get any of these things from a picture

2019-12-03 17:21:31 UTC  

If you're some kind of weirdo who just likes looking at cakes, then sure, a picture might do something for you

2019-12-03 17:21:48 UTC  

All of these things are irrelevant. As the primary and majority experience is the visual one.

2019-12-03 17:22:12 UTC  

This is why cake shops display the visual experience of their cake rather than giving you the other experiences as well.

2019-12-03 17:22:17 UTC  

Maybe for you but that's a personal preference

2019-12-03 17:22:22 UTC  

IF you really care about the smell, buy cake perfume.

2019-12-03 17:22:31 UTC  

The olfactory experience in a cake shop is a pretty big factor too I'd say

2019-12-03 17:22:37 UTC  

I am appealing to the free market majority.

2019-12-03 17:23:09 UTC  

ONLY RELEVANT CAKE FEATURE IS TASTE

2019-12-03 17:23:10 UTC  

I understand that you as a communist may not understand how the free market works, but it is an amazing tool that allocates resources and preference to the highest ability.

2019-12-03 17:23:56 UTC  

So what you're saying is, you don't really care about having your cake and eating it too, you just want to look at a picture of it and eat it too.

2019-12-03 17:24:20 UTC  

As stated the visual experience ***Is*** the cake.

2019-12-03 17:26:33 UTC  

I fundamentally reject this assertion, but you're free to have that opinion I guess.

2019-12-03 17:27:57 UTC  

Btw, here's $100 USD, don't spend it all in one place.

2019-12-03 17:55:18 UTC  

yeah that's crazy it might be what get's you to buy the cake but if that would be the case why would anyone eat cake

2019-12-03 18:03:46 UTC  

HALO IS OUT

2019-12-03 18:57:53 UTC

2019-12-03 18:57:59 UTC

2019-12-03 19:07:12 UTC  

Shit, I'd vote for you

2019-12-03 19:17:10 UTC

@Deleted User Hey you brought back my favorite profile pic of yours 😄

no it's highest bidder cus the def for demand if *the willingness and ability to buy a good/service*

2019-12-04 00:47:49 UTC  

@Revolutionaryarmchair Whats the argument for that?

2019-12-04 00:48:03 UTC  

Therefore whenever you raise prices and the quantity demanded drops, you basically exclude access cus this is often due to high prices acting a barrier to purchase

2019-12-04 00:48:26 UTC  

wtf this is like neo classical

2019-12-04 00:48:39 UTC  

not weird neo wickesslian shit or something

2019-12-04 00:48:42 UTC  

Can you prove demand drops and not just purchases.

2019-12-04 00:49:08 UTC  

you mean a shift in the curve?

2019-12-04 00:49:43 UTC  

Yea prove that an increase in prices drops demand by a significant amount, and not just purchases.

2019-12-04 00:49:54 UTC  

cus the problem with economic *allocative efficiency* under a market is that it presumes that wealth/purchasing power is kinda equal

quantity demanded

2019-12-04 00:51:16 UTC  

quantity demanded is a particular point affected by a change in the firm/firms'/supplier's price

2019-12-04 00:51:19 UTC  

Can you cite an actual study or data set and not just a drawn together graph with no backing.

2019-12-04 00:52:33 UTC  

Also this graph does not have anything to do with the demand claim.
