@hllizi @davidaugust Yup, Economics 101 - supply and demand curves. A basic concept earlier than freshman year B-school, like market fundamentals kids learn trading for digital Neopets.
This is the real problem with so-called "free market" unregulated capitalism: many capitalists don't understand economics, thinking markets listen only to them because of their capital. When it doesn't respond as they wish, they act corruptly to make a market controlled in their favor, ex. frozen minimum wage.
