Getting on the Other Side of the Demand Curve
Most of us most of the time see ourselves as exclusively consumers. Many of us then take that view and complain when we are unable to consume to our satisfaction. We see this most pointedly when it comes to gasoline and energy.
Quite often, when gas prices exhibit some sort of extreme (on both ends of the price scale) we start hearing tales of dark conspiracy. The powers that be want to suck the wealth out of us! Or The powers that be want us to forget the high prices and drive more! Or The powers that be want us to vote for candidate X!, Or what gas scarcity? I can always fill up my car, truck, boat, ATVs, motorcycles, and snowmobiles! and so on.
I challenge people who think like that to get solidly on the production side of a market place and study how price points affect both production, demand, and profit!
It will help you to become a more intelligent consumer!
