will the price be high... or low

2019-01-27 20:34:59 UTC  

depends what supply and demand has it at

2019-01-27 20:35:28 UTC  

no, there is none of that. There is one road, one toll, x amount of people use it daily. it is not fluctuating, it is a road in a population-stable location

2019-01-27 20:35:44 UTC  

what will happen to the tolls on that road?

2019-01-27 20:35:50 UTC  

will they magically be low?

2019-01-27 20:37:02 UTC  

the "supply" is 1: one road lol. The demand is x amount of people a day. It doesn't change, because it is a road.

2019-01-27 20:37:19 UTC  

the toll will be extremely high, because they know they can, because people need this road

2019-01-27 20:37:20 UTC  

I mere there’s 2 bridges but 1 only has a 2 lane road to get to it lol

2019-01-27 20:37:34 UTC  

So when they do work on the main one

2019-01-27 20:37:36 UTC  

You’re fucked

2019-01-27 20:37:49 UTC  

And it’s like every summer btw

2019-01-27 20:37:52 UTC  

mkay so there's some competition there, we can easily imagine a scenario though where just one road/bridge exists to get somewhere

2019-01-27 20:38:13 UTC  

Unless the same company buys both bridges

2019-01-27 20:38:20 UTC  

yeah then you're still boned

2019-01-27 20:38:35 UTC  

>like the government owning both xD

2019-01-27 20:39:20 UTC  

oof haha, the question is do we want the government having the monopoly, or private institutions

2019-01-27 20:39:34 UTC  

one of those is more efficient but wants to get as much money from you as possible

2019-01-27 20:39:47 UTC  

one of those is less efficient but profit isn't a concept

2019-01-27 20:44:17 UTC  

hmmm I wonder what dems want in exchange

2019-01-27 20:44:31 UTC  

like if they wanna negotiate, they want something

2019-01-27 20:45:21 UTC  

I see Pocahontas is in the thumbnail.

2019-01-27 20:45:24 UTC  

Good Pocahontas.

2019-01-27 20:57:56 UTC  

oof

2019-01-27 20:58:05 UTC  

Elizabeth Warren a fat L for MA

2019-01-27 21:22:16 UTC  

you said the rise of automation eliminates jobs right

2019-01-27 21:22:25 UTC  

I believed the same thing a few years ago

2019-01-27 21:22:36 UTC  

but it really doesn't

2019-01-27 21:23:05 UTC  

if you look back in time, industrial revolution for example, people were saying jobs would be gone and that a lot of people would be unemployed and people would be doing nothing

2019-01-27 21:23:14 UTC  

exactly how people say it now, but look what happened

2019-01-27 21:25:03 UTC  

That’s different though

2019-01-27 21:25:13 UTC  

People still needed to work the machines

2019-01-27 21:25:29 UTC  

In the scenario I’m talking automation removes the majority of jobs

2019-01-27 21:26:45 UTC  

Like high majority

2019-01-27 21:26:47 UTC  

people will still be needed to make the make the machines, check if theyre working properly, repair them

2019-01-27 21:26:53 UTC  

yes

2019-01-27 21:26:57 UTC  

Obviously

2019-01-27 21:27:17 UTC  

But in the IR the machines were run by people

2019-01-27 21:27:47 UTC  

It was probably 10 people to a machine but now

2019-01-27 21:27:52 UTC  

It would be 1 to 100
