The whole point of the thread was - she saw a need and filled it - and even price gouging was (obviously) good in this scenario for both parties. If price ceilings had been instituted, neither side would have benefited, and we know both sides clearly would have lost. An everyday example of price gouging doing what it does best - allocating resources to their most pressing need.
Said that 12 posts ago, homeboy. The Muff was the one who said “Haven’t you been to a hotel that sells Internet service to its guests? There can be a pop up that pops up when a user connects to the network that the girl set up.”
Cry me a river, John. At least I was nice about it in my post.
This might be a news flash to you, bro, but some people don’t appreciate you acting like a dick most of the time. Just thought I’d help you out there.
Don’t expect me to shut up or back down about this, either. Trust me, I won’t. You can call it “whining” all you want. I couldn’t care less, and it will have absolutely no effect on me.
rolls eyes You’re the one saying that she couldn’t have done it.
Yes, yes. We’re all very aware of your constant crusade of not being intimidated. No effect on you, won’t be shamed into shutting up, we don’t intimidate you, you won’t let us, you won’t be intimidated, blah blah blah.
It might save you some keystrokes if you just kept some links handy. Or maybe even just a single link to your post history.
Um. Noo…I suggested she couldn’t set up a drawbridge firewall to grant access to people who paid through a custom page after setting it all up on her cell phone. To simply convince people to give her cash and trust that they’d be able to access her network after they passed through security I said she must look like Jessica Alba. Just click the link. You even quoted it. It’s right there for you.
Getting fancy, ey?
Gettin desperate, ey?
P.S.
I’m always fancy.
Your derailments are never fancy.
So is she one member of a marginal pair? An internet service provider pushed under because the cost of compliance (bribe) was too high?
My posts were on the topic of the OP. However if someone else wishes to engage a conversation about something else (such as Autolykos and his probably unhealthy obsession with intimidation) I’m usually happy to oblige.
Nice to see you follow my links though.
To quote the OP:
You’re the one who started complaining about the how it’s implausible that a high school girl would have been able to do it.
And they said voluntary interactions bring people together…
If someone doesnt answer my economics question and stop bickering I might resort to aggressive violence based purely on principle
I assume you’re asking about Bawerk’s pairs?
Yes. Is she one of the four market sovereigns who get to decide what price the internet is?
If that’s all there was to it, there would be no need for a thread. In that case it would be more like an announcement.
Either way, my initial response was a simple question regarding detail. Your first post came directly after mine, not only attempting to offer an answer to my question, but also asking a similar detail-oriented question of your own that had absolutely nothing to do with “she saw a need and filled it”.
So I’m not quite sure how you can accuse me of derailing anything without calling yourself out.
I wasn’t complaining about anything. Again, my initial posts were all questions about how exactly this whole operation went down. You continued to respond with answers that seemed less and less probable with every post. All I did was point this out.
Then you started in with ginormous pictures and even more ridiculous notions, and eventually claiming I said something I didn’t (brought about in part by someone else not rtff, but I suppose that still wouldn’t exonerate you from going along with it.)
