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.
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
If you're some kind of weirdo who just likes looking at cakes, then sure, a picture might do something for you
All of these things are irrelevant. As the primary and majority experience is the visual one.
This is why cake shops display the visual experience of their cake rather than giving you the other experiences as well.
Maybe for you but that's a personal preference
IF you really care about the smell, buy cake perfume.
The olfactory experience in a cake shop is a pretty big factor too I'd say
I am appealing to the free market majority.
ONLY RELEVANT CAKE FEATURE IS TASTE
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.
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.
As stated the visual experience ***Is*** the cake.
I fundamentally reject this assertion, but you're free to have that opinion I guess.
Btw, here's $100 USD, don't spend it all in one place.
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
HALO IS OUT

@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*
@Revolutionaryarmchair Whats the argument for that?
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
wtf this is like neo classical
not weird neo wickesslian shit or something
Can you prove demand drops and not just purchases.
you mean a shift in the curve?
Yea prove that an increase in prices drops demand by a significant amount, and not just purchases.
cus the problem with economic *allocative efficiency* under a market is that it presumes that wealth/purchasing power is kinda equal
> Yea prove that an increase in prices drops demand by a significant amount, and not just purchases.
quantity demanded
quantity demanded is a particular point affected by a change in the firm/firms'/supplier's price
Can you cite an actual study or data set and not just a drawn together graph with no backing.
Also this graph does not have anything to do with the demand claim.
are you trolling?

?
wait is someone trying to say that markets allocate resources efficiently?
