Produce milk then, I'll wait.
- others already do that. no need for me to undertaking such an endeavor. the problem is that we don't have a method to reduce demand. you haven't even produced a method to measure demand.
  
  You have changed the argument from: demand decreasing does not reduce supply. To: we can't reduce demand. Do you see the flaws in your argument yet?
  
  you haven't provided a method to test your hypothesis.
  
  demand decreasing doesn't cause a reduced supply.
  
  Evidence? Assertion without requires no evidence to refute.
  
  I'm not going to believe that commies are inherently dumb no matter how hard you try.
  
  one easy way to gauge demand would be price.
  
  the price of Faberge eggs varies, but even when it increases, indicating an increase in demand, no more are produced. and by contrast upon a price decrease, no causal mechanism reduces the supply. qed.
  
  So, where are the warehouses full of unsold eggs that are constantly filling up waiting for your point to land?
  
  I just showed that supply is not dependent on demand.
  
  You did not. But thanks for playing.
  
  you may not be qualified to understand this, or perhaps you lack reading comprehension, or are simply refusing to concede a clear point of fact for some reason, but I most certainly did.
  
  You did not. And you are bad at this. À tout à l'heure.
  
  I'm not constructing an argument
  
  I'm deconstructing one.
  
  You think you are, but this is not new territory and you are not that interesting.
  
  I anyone can see exactly what happened in this thread, and if you're disinterested, you needn't reply.
