trapezohedon28 июл., 20:46So you're arguing that food is cheaper at grocery stores than it would be in a more ideal market?
trapezohedon28 июл., 20:19I didn't say I did, Mamdani only said meat and fresh produce would. The loss comes from it generating insufficient revenue to cover the costs. I won't call it opportunity cost because that's not what opportunity cost is.
trapezohedon28 июл., 18:45And all of that doesn't matter, because ordinary people can shift their behavior and in aggregate cause the same effect
trapezohedon28 июл., 18:23This kinda seems like Mamdani's general strategy. Kill glonzo and in the background do things that actually matter
trapezohedon28 июл., 17:06Because there are shortages in the shops because the price is too low. It's called scalping.
trapezohedon28 июл., 16:46Yes, because people don't act like robots and respond to incentives we can't have nice things. It's not that we need to predict and design policy around this behavior, it's the people that are wrong for wanting to maximize their utility.
trapezohedon28 июл., 16:45Even so, why would you buy meat anywhere else? Everyone is going to go there and the store will run up massive losses that need to be subsidized
