    The textbook intro examples of the law of supply and demand aren’t even true in practice.

    They’re all like “prices on ice cream will rise when it’s hotter out so there is less demand for it!” and I have never found that to be true at fucking all.

      That and I’ve never seen prices ever go down for any reason whatsoever unless it’s some already volatile thing like oil/gas.
