#supplyside — Public Fediverse posts

I am just waiting for a future trillionaire to propose air or sunshine as subscription services. That is what massive wealth in modern supply-driven economies is based on. Identifying the most basic biological need or function you can get away with monetising !

Housing? Hunger? Thirst? Attention? Dopamine? Healthcare? Education? Transportation?

"Economists, generally insulated from the dirty realities of turning a buck by tenure and/or wealth, think of demand as a vast natural force to be harnessed, like wind or oil—a conception that fits hand in glove with the equally simplistic “great man” theory, which posits that some people (men) are just born great. Sounds nice, but things look a little less elegant to the salesmen in the trenches."

Question: How long do wireless earbud batteries last ? What happens after they are not holding their charge any more ?

The answer is LANDFILL. We have adopted planned obsolescence so companies can keep selling things and making money.

Very interesting wording of the headline here. It is never the supply that is too high, it is always the demand that is low.

This is how deeply ingrained supply-side theory is in our daily discourse and the media.

Don't fall for it. Low demand is ok. You don't need everything they are selling. You don't need much at all.

and has never freaking worked... we find ourselves with the worst disparity in history... all due to the shit policies of #SupplySide / #Reaganomics it was always a POS and always will be a POS... ask Brownback... it destroyed his governorship.

"After #DeSantis released his #economic plan last wk, #WSJ called it “unstable.” The editorial praised some parts while criticizing less trade w/ China, less immigration & federal action to ease #StudentDebt.

WSJ's editorial page aligns w/ the #Republican Party frm #Reagan til #Trump favoring laissez-faire, small-govt, light regulation, low taxes & govt benefits, high levels trade & immigration." Think #MiltonFriedman

Problem is it doesn't work. #NYT #SupplySide / #Reaganomics suck

A new report released this week, “An Economist’s Case for Restrictive #SupplySide Policies,” makes the case for a suite of policies, from ending #FossilFuel subsidies to banning #oil and #gas production from public lands and other areas, and #climate risk disclosure.

For those who have time for some heavier reading, this is why we say, 'No new coal or gas'.

The distinction between supply side and demand side is dangerous propaganda. The idea is that the supply side supplies consumer goods that are demanded by the demand side.

But the supply side demands labor and the demand side supplies it. The supply side demands surplus value and the demand side supplies it. Without labor there's nothing to either supply or demand.

It suits their narrative, though, to pretend that they're giving us stuff that we demand instead of forcing us to supply stuff that they demand.
