That's why I don't try to become an all-star basketball playing, pimping, frisbee-gold wearin', hip-hop-rappin', ghetto-blastin' home boy.
Word up g.
I know my strengths and I know my place.
Leave it to idiots to think they somehow have what it takes (ie-a brain and a positive IQ) to become an economist.

ReplyDeletei'd pay to hear you lay down some rhymes about economics.
word.
I got a forward the other day saying that we should simply boycott Exxon and Mobil altogether, and that alone would bring prices down.
ReplyDeleteIt included this quote:
"From my business experience, price isn't determined by what the product costs to produce, it is determined by what the market will bear..... and currently our market is bearing $2.50+ per gallon. With no action the cost will only go up. For those of you who were with me in Kuwait, have you seen more Mercedes, Porsches, Ferrari's, BMW's, etc any where else? Not even in LA."
I wrote up a nice educational little response to the girl who sent it to me. I included everything but graphs. I think she was pretty offended.
Electric cars and hybrids woudl certainly bring down the price of oil. What I get a kick out of is how everybody thinks this market is some how fixed. You have the two largest economies in the world growing like mad, you have the rest of the global economy growing at a clip of about 4% a year, OPEC is maxing out on production and then a hurriance hits our freaking oil belt and all the left can do is say
ReplyDelete"It's big oil. Let's boycott Shell! Hee hee he he hee!"
What utter fucking morons.
AGain, I will say it, the spoiled brat Americans who dedicated all their brain power to figuring out American Idol have none left to think about the simplicities of a supply and demand curve.
Oh, and Capt. Mike,
ReplyDeleteLook up the "payment in kisses" rhymes I "laid down" on Capt. Capitalism.
Not rap, but it's the best economic poetry you'll find.
Captain,
ReplyDeleteeven I, a good commie, agree with you here. I remember having it out with someone who thought that Buy Nothing Day was a good thing. He, a typical leftie, was uneducated about any variety of economics. I don't know why people bother with those. As JTapp pointed out, its not what it costs to produce, but rather what the market will bear.
Ahh yes Commie Pete, but you will come around and soon, oh yes, very soon, join us here on the Dark Side of the Force.
