Consult a dictionary to check all the meanings of the word "claim". So, now you claim it was your own observation - then what was wrong what was wrong with my "If" and what specifically did you observe? You persist in your error not learning from experience. Consult an elementary text on semantics ...

What was it that was observed and by whom? This should have been obvious even to you. What was observed, by me, is that a near-infinite supply always tends towards zero demand with possibly human necessities -- food, water, air, clothing, shelter -- excepted. Don’t assume this response means I’ll co ...

I have a couple of loose ends to clear up before I leave this forum for good. One has to do with Knoppix which is by far the best operating system available for home use if you have sufficient resources to run it. (Puppy is quite possibly the best for limited older computers.) First, there’s a known ...

Here are some [undeleted] quotations from Bernie_by_the_Sea: (1) I've had trouble mentally calculating (2) Now It looks like at least twenty of my posts were deleted and deletion is ongoing, 126 threads yesterday, 106 today. (3) In fact I lost most of my humility in the 1950's when the US Army told ...

Refresh my memory Bernie, what exactly does this have to do with "The Future of Puppy Linux" and is there any reason why you can't handle your business in a PM to mods? It points out that one way Puppy Linux might be trying to survive is by censoring its primary forum. It would seem to have no ...

There is no censorship going on here. On Wed. May 18 at 6:15 AM, Bernie wrote his original post here where he mentioned his 16 gauge shotgun and driving across Canada sea to sea. This is the one that shows up in Google caches. Then at 12:04 PM, he edited the post in response to jonyo's comment ...

Flash, So you have not moved any of his posts and I am confident that none are missing. Bernie is obviously confused by his fallacious counting methodology. This isn't based on any methodology, counting or otherwise. This is based on actual deletion of posts. The methodology was to estimate how ...

Hi by_the_sea, What was it that was observed and by whom? What I've observed most recently is that at least two of my posts in this forum were deleted this morning. I never participate in censored forums so this is most likely my last post... if it even makes it through. My last post be may ...

It's the opposite. If a certain material or product is in abundance, people use it more because it's a cheap and readily available commodity. There are numerous examples. Such as cow farts, puppy poop, ants, spiders, locusts and seawater? Who said anything about a commodity? An interest group isn't ...

But that fact that "more is not noticeable" (of a product, or material) in no way drives demand to zero. Sand is near infinite, but by no means is the demand "zero". Can you give an example for your hypothesis. And remember, you don't want price involved. I did not say zero. Read what I said ...

Since I’m seldom in Canada I've had trouble mentally calculating how much Canadian gallons are in real gallons. Or has Canada gone to liters? I drove across Canada sea to sea in 1963 and there were Imperial gallons all the way. yup liters for a few decades now Aha, then I would have the Mexican p ...

I can't even think of a single situation where something has a demand, but by producing more of it, we would reduce demand. The price would tend towards zero (which might reduce the number of suppliers)... Ummm.. We have a semi-infinite amount of sand. Demand for sand does not decrease if more ...

Out of hundreds of web sites I checked, I found only one that states the Law of Supply and Demand the way I do, and it was an obscure text published in 1902. It even had an illustration based on a children’s seesaw with supply on one end and demand on the other with a pegboard system to raise and l ...

The Law of Supply and Demand is in every sophomore Economics text. If it actually says what you claim, a citation would be enough to convince me. I'm beginning to tire of this "claim" business on this forum. I NEVER MAKE CLAIMS. PERIOD. I'm still working on an answer. Patience is often learned with ...
