More people would consume fancy food if it was priced lower. Because the supply is limited they charge more. It's really sad when the Socialist of bellgab has to explain basic capitalism to some loud mouth conservative. It's like concerts. A band that appeals to people is able to charge higher ticket premiums and sell more tickets.

Look you stupid cunt...  you are trying to equate quality to popularity, and price.  Those don't always go hand in hand.  And in the context I am using... the case of quality musicians ..that being one isn't a guarantee of being paid very well.  You are just too dumb to understand.

Yeah that's a pretty easy one.

Idiot Commie, if I want "fancy food" I purchase the ingredients and make it myself.

Any Commie moron can take flour, apples, butter and make a mess, it takes skill to create Apple Pie.  'MURICA!

I do vaguely remember alot more sticky price tags back then.

I remember swapping them... oops.

The only value of a product is what someone is willing to pay for it. Capitalism 101

Maybe you should start reconsidering your political views if you are so adamant about money not equaling value. The market decides what is quality!

[trostol]

That's a tough one. Late 70's early 80's ?
Erm... Hang on a second.

Value is intrinsic to the thing being evaluated.  Given a choice between to nearly identical things (Communism & Socialism for instance), the amount of money spent on either is meaningless/worthless, as money is symbolic.

Weak minded fool!

ediot:  Only an idiot Commie would use Capitalist symbols to attempt to define Socialism.  Your jedi powers are weak.

Um, no. The market decides what is marketable.



(Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus cannot be described as being 'quality' in any universe)

I find Hoagie valuable and I have spent 0 cents on him.

Communism and Socialism are fungible political theories.  Say like lemons, limes and oranges.

Captialism is the apple or pear.

Anarchy is the fungus.

Have a good one trostol.

Miley is okay.

Celebrities that can get you to pay attention to them are very good at their job. They are entertainers and some people are entertained by hating. There are a lot of washed up celebrities that wish they could get people to pay attention to them.

Generally businesses can charge more for higher quality goods/services, but trends and marketing and group-think play a part in muting the relationship between price & quality.  In fact, there has been observed a paradoxical effect in some luxury goods where people think the quality is better only because the price is higher.

It was a good show.

I think Burke won.

But I'll give Hoaxland his well earned second place prize:

It was to support Amnesty International.

It was a good show.

It started out weak, but got better.  Still, it felt pretty superficial in some ways.  Hoagie really needs to do some more show prep sometimes, instead of just winging it e.g. with old war-stories about the Cronkite days and over-exposed current events like political stuffs.

The original Miley Cyrus is dead though. They found her body in the desert near L.A. and they just replaced her with a doppelganger. She was beaten to death because she had refused to perform sexual favors for Disney executives and then demanded to be released from her contract.

Ok all, guess this one's winding down.  You know your insomnia's acting up when you're looking for that post-OSOM show to watch or listen to.  Oh well, hope y'all get some sleep.  Later.

I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of sleep a lot of times. lol If I one day discovered I flew around the country and started a whole bunch of women only fighting clubs I know why.
