They're Usually Shredded Alive Rule :(
They're usually shredded alive almost immediately because they're seen as "waste" since they don't lay eggs
For some more context:
You're viewing part of a thread.
If the demand for animal products goes down, so will supply
that's not causal, and, also not what the theory of supply and demand says. the theory says that the price will decrease, not that production will.
That's why when nobody wanted vhs anymore they just kept making them at the exact same rate for less and less money. They're still producing billions of vhs players every year and selling them at huge losses because wikipedia said something about supply and demand. You've cracked the code, you're morally in the clear now, you found the magic words that absolve you of all personal responsibility. Hoorayyyyyyyy.
your sarcasm doesn't undermine the facts.
the fact that demand absolutely influences supply?
"influences" is a pretty weasley word. show me a formula that actually (as in, verifiably) predicts how "demand" (a pretty weasley word itself) influences supply (probably the only concept for which we will be able to produce quantifiable numbers)
ok, here is my formula:
d = s
It's pretty reliable.
how do you quantify demand and can you show me a case where it has ever been true?
ok, I used to eat animal products, but then I decided it wasn't nice and so I stopped supplying them to myself.
but global supply has increased since then. you also haven't quantified demand.
demand was when I wanted a hamburder. me wanting a hamburder is 1 demand.
1 demand = 1 supply.
I don't see why you would compare that to global supply. I am not equal to the global population. That was a very illogical leap you took.
a moment of introspection here will show you that, in fact, this is about as close to the truth as you're ever going to get. all economic theory is storytelling. you happen to like some particular stories better than others, and so you choose to believe them (and even repeat them as though tehy are true). but they are not True in an objective sense. there is no scientific experiment that can be constructed to test these claims which would satisfy the skepticism of a critical rationalist inquiry.
that's fine. i believe (or act like i believe) lots of stories that i can't prove the truth of, which are actually unprovable. we all do. just don't try to pretend it's science.
