because she was the only Democrat more conservative than Biden
Biden is a middle of the road Democrat. I could probably come up with 200 or so living Democrats with experience as a state governor or a federal representative more conservative than him. Any member of the Blue Dog Caucus, for instance.
Harris is also middle of the road
Right
Zionist is generally a dog whistle
The word substitution is as blunt and obvious as a baseball bat to a Nazi’s face
Absolutely correct.
Yes, it is
I mean yeah Zionist is generally used as a stand in for Jew
Sexual harassment is funny when it’s of Picard, I guess
Oh. Yeah, it’s kinda weird to integrate this into a D&D campaign
This is a model of what a human would look like if we were evolved to withstand a car accident without supplemental restraints and safety systems
By killing anyone who says they’re dishonorable?
Yep, Q is definitely up to his BS again
“we beat the Borg by making self replicating shuttles loaded with portable holographic projectors projecting 1930s gangsters with Thompson submachine guns and boarding every Borg cube with zerg rushes”
Why not make self replicating warships? Eh? EH???
Isn’t that just the Defiant class
Lwaxana sexually harassing Picard has always made me uncomfortable.
If you don’t set the price goo low then you’re not changing the price
Starvation isn’t a widespread issue in either the US or the EU. We aren’t spending 80% of the typical family income on food in either location. This isn’t South Sudan or a nation similarly undeveloped, where families are scratching at subsistence farming.
If you capped the price of bread at, say, $1 a loaf, then bakeries would want to sell for less in order for retailers to sell for that one dollar figure. Which means baking loads for a percentage of that $1, which means reducing the local price of wheat to match. In a location where the price of a loaf of bread is $2 a loaf, then they can pay more or less twice as much for wheat.
Basic supply-demand equation. Econ 101.
The point here is that if you break the supply-demand equation by instituting a cap on the price of bread, you’re moving the supply down while moving the demand up as more people seek to buy bread and it becomes a much less attractive product to bake and sell. Barring subsidies to producers and retailers to support the price cut - at which point, we may as well just centrally distribute bread - then there will be unfulfilled demand, since the price cannot rise enough to motivate supply to meet demand.
Which means shortages. Very basic econs.
A price cap moves the measurement point in that graph away from equilibrium and shifts both lines to the left. The gap in between is unfulfilled demand.
Touchy, aren’t you
