A follow-up to my earlier #SupplyandDemand. During the latter part of Covid and afterward, inflation hit America, and corporate America explained that it was caused by increases in labor and materials. That's fine except for one major result; excess profits. If prices were raised on the final product just to cover the increase in labor and materials, then the profit margin for those items would have stayed around the same, and net profits would not have soared.

Instead, corporations were greedy and saw the opportunity to increase prices above their added cost, thus increasing and exasperating the inflation burden on America citizens. Then, at their quarterly earnings meetings, they announced abundant earnings. Once again, greed raised its ugly head, and #Republicans continue to refuse to roll back the Trump tax cuts to alleviate the current #DebtCeiling. A crisis that they have manufactured. Yet, a segment of the voting population continues to vote and retain these #scumbags in government.

Americans need to take a hard look at the whole idea of #SupplyandDemand, especially when it comes to #rent. I read about cities instituting rent control/stabilization and how some residents are up in arms about it. Rent increases when demand is high, but why is that? Other than property taxes, the cost associated with that place doesn't change from month to month except for the penchant of the landlord to increase their #profitmargin. But how much profit turns into pure greed? Is 10% or 15% profit high enough to live well? Is 25%? Does 30% become greedy? That's the question we wrestle with. How much profit becomes too much at the expense of the consumer and society as a whole.

Why is it businesses only think #SupplyAndDemand only applies to pricing? It's simple you have a shortage of potential employees (supply) and a huge pool of employers (demand) looking for them, the answer is basic #economics101 you have to pay more, ie. Pay your employees a better wage, and have better benefits. If you don't, you'll go out of business, and deserve too!

I have been thinking about this article:

What Australia Allocating 30% Of Land Mass For Endangered Species Means For Species Recovery - By the #EndangeredSpeciesCoalition

https://www.endangered.org/what-australia-allocating-30-of-land-mass-for-endangered-species-means-for-species-recovery

The crazy thing is: currently, 22% of the land in #Australia is already conserved, so we are talking about adding another 8% over the next 10 years!

I propose increasing the goals to 50% by 2030 (there's lots of desert in Australia so I really don't see this as a hard problem for the politicians to game for extra browny points), for land to be used exclusively for non human purposes and conservation.

But of course, there's untapped mining potential and untapped land that can be used to grow non native (invasive) species such as #cows, #pigs, #chickens, and #sheep, and we can't let profits and self centred selfish goals get in the way of the common good, God forbid we think about the native and unique species of Australia.

What are some ways we can help in getting Australia (and the rest of the world) to 50% of planet Earth to be untouched by humans, and (pardon my words 😂) left the fuck alone?

1. Buy the land or parcel of land and donate to a Nature Conservancy. Here is a local example from #Victoria: https://trustfornature.org.au/ways-to-give/donate-land

2. If you don't have the land or a lot of wealth, you can #GoVegan. Yes, I harp on it all the time, but #SupplyAndDemand in our society is key.

Which option is easier? 🌱

#PriceControls are a form of micromanagement, and they ignore supply and demand. If a price is set too low or isnt adjusted frequently enough, it can wreak havoc, sometimes even causing producers to lose money or get out of the business altogether. This is the opposite of what price controls are intended for: Making sure that people can purchase what they need.

If we instead put a cap on the operating #ProfitMargin (as a maximum percentage), companies will never be forced to operate at a loss as a result, since prices are still allowed to flex based on #SupplyAndDemand. And yet it still puts an upper limit on the contribution of increasing #profits to the problem of #inflation, and prevents price gouging.

Explaining a #price with #SupplyAndDemand” is like explaining a death with “died”.

How flow-casting works and why it’s important.

Whoever said prices are based on supply and demand is full of shit.
Raising prices because demand is low? Good luck with driving away more customers.
They're doing the same in Boston with the T.

Often during election cycles, the parties pull out old tropes to explain current events. For example, #democrats claim to put money back in people's pockets while #republicans claim Ds are responsible for #inflation. However, as this article highlights, the cost of goods is more complicated than these simple partisan tropes but maybe as simple as basic #supplyanddemand.

Housing Breaks People’s Brains

"Supply skepticism and shortage denialism are pushing against the actual solution to the housing crisis: building enough homes."

What happens to price when demand outstrips supply? Here's one opinion: "The #HODL price model projects #bitcoin price to reach $1,000,000 near the fifth halving around 2028." #SupplyAndDemand #Econ101
