Heavily!

Good boy.

Only if u call us mommy

Gotta find a denser concentration of goth chicks

IT’S TRUE WE LOVE THESE ONES

Being painfully shy is how you get the extroverted goth chicks

I find it so fucking funny that they simultaneously complain that women don’t want them and then as a reaction they threaten being alone as if that isn’t something these women have chosen over them.

Like, honey, I’m boisterous and aggressive and get far more female and male attention than they do. Those that leave behind these archaic expectations are far more social and happy than these dudes.

Yes, I am aware of how the capitalist system works. And I am aware that it is working as intended. My statement is a statement of values.

Supply and demand are relevant, but the market still doesn’t allocate resources effectively and requires regulation to prevent predatory housing prices because of said inelastic demand.

So sure, if you want to make a semantic argument, supply and demand “applies”.

Does it efficiently and effectively get housing to those who need it? Absolutely not.

My statement is a criticism of capitalism and the way it works.

Didn’t you know? Building cities so people can get around in them easily without a vehicle is oppression

Yes urban sprawl is a problem and apartments would be a better use of space.

In my comment what I mean by the word “apply” is that resources are allocated effectively, which they are not without heavy regulation, and at that point it is no longer the free market that is allocating the resources.

Regulating the market is taking it out of the free market though, and i am a very strong supporter of that.

I don’t understand what you’re angry about.

Let me explain what I mean:

When i say supply and demand does not apply, I mean the basic rules of supply and demand do not apply. In most cases where the free market is effective at allocating resources, it’s because when demand increases, price increases, and when demand decreases, price tends to decrease.

The problem with things like Healthcare, housing, food, etc. Is that that demand line is a straight line. People cannot choose to not eat, or have shelter (at least most people don’t want to be homeless), or have Healthcare, so they are left with a single option: to go into debt.

Because people cannot choose not to purchase necessities, according to the supply and demand rules, and the basics of capitalist economics (charge as much as people are willing to pay), with no change in demand based on price and with no legitimate regulations, this kind of thing always results in exorbitant prices that most people cannot afford.

What I mean in one sentence: the free market is incapable of allocating resources effectively for necessities because people can’t just choose not to buy.

K but also he’s an idiot because treating housing like supply and demand applies to it is how we got to a place where nobody can fucking afford them because, clearly, supply and demand does not apply to things people need

I very met some very mature Gen Z! They just happen to be the ones that don’t spend a lot of time on social media haha

And this is why my millennial D&D group invites zoomers to join us, no better way to bridge that gap!

I just like lemmy more, I deleted my 13 year old reddit account

Oh I was just kidding because of how similar Nick is to Nicole, and evidently I don’t have to tell you about her haha
