Raids. "And then they came for me, but by then no one was left to speak up."

It's apparent that your ideology interferes with your perception of the truth.

Bureaucracy CAN completely shut off supply at any price.

Plus, when the price goes up, people do switch to substitutes which is essentially reduces demand.

When I say demand, that is shorthand for quantity demanded: [about.com]



I did not refer to a demand curve.

You are officially busted-





You are so transparent. You got caught twice now misusing the term 'demand' and this is your answer....
??????


The ultimate equivocation, pretend you were talking about something else the whole time.
It would have been refreshing to hear you just admit you made a mistake but this just supports your reputation of intellectual dishonesty. I even offered you an out, that you were referring to consumption (something much closer to quantity demanded), yet you continued with your pretentiousness going as far as chiding another poster for trying to correct you AGAIN.

There's no shame in admiting you just didn't understand what I meant.

Most people would understand that a reduction in demand refers to a reduction in the quantity demanded.

Stop it, just stop. You are wrong. You have been shown you are wrong. You are now trying to substitute terms that never applied. You can't save face anymore, quit digging yourself deeper.
Most people don't say reduction in demand when they mean reduction in consumption, as has been pointed out numerous times.

If I didn't understand what you meant it's because you are using a term that has an exact meaning, in a non-traditional way and expect people to figure it out on their own....



I feel like I'm trying to explain to a creationist that "theory" doesn't mean hunch.

Gibson employees were told by the invading federal agents that they could be looking at up to five years of jail time for whatever the hell they were supposedly guilty of. (The agents in question, clad in body armor and lugging heavy weapons, were from the Fish and Wildlife Service.)

Juszkiewicz initially thought the raid might have been a mix-up due to improperly completed shipping documents, but later said his company was being deliberately targeted by the Obama Administration, which “wants us to just shut our doors and go away.” Fun Fact #1: many of Gibson’s competitors use the same kind of wood in their instruments, but none were assaulted by federal agents. Fun Fact #2: those competitors are not located in a right-to-work states, while Gibson headquarters is in Tennessee.

In fact, it has now been six months since the Great Gibson Guitar Raid… and even though Gibson’s business was damaged, and half a million dollars’ worth of property was confiscated, no charges have been filed at all.

I’m reminded of a grim Russian joke I heard years ago:

Two men are being hauled to Siberia in a prisoner transport.

The first man asks, “How long is your sentence in the gulag?”
The second man replies, “Twenty years.”

The first man asks, “And what was your crime?”
The second man says, “Nothing.”

The first man becomes very angry and shouts, “LIAR! Everyone knows the penalty for nothing is only ten years!”

According to court documents, around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 4, four to six suspects kicked in the door of an apartment claiming to be police officers and DEA agents.

The suspects ordered the people inside the apartment to get on the ground while they bound their hands with zip ties. The suspects demanded money and guns.

The victims say the men were wearing black T-shirts with "DEA" and "OCPD" printed on them. They had their faces painted black and some were armed with what the victims believed to be real guns.

Why the title "Who can you trust?"

Just because the perpetrators were wearing PD and DEA shirts?

Who can you trust?
