I don’t think you understand the difference between micro and macro economics. That chart I outlined is micro economics and is basically the study of business and how to maximize your producer surplus given the supply and demand curve for your product(s).
Sorry man but I don’t care what degree you have if you did not learn that all costs of delivering a product to market must be paid by the end consumer you need to go back to school. You don’t have a clue about what you are talking about. I don’t care what Corp you’ve done pricing for, I have seen big corporations do the stupidest shit imaginable. I know of Nobel prize winning economists that are wrong nearly 100 percent of the time. A wise man once taught me economics is a subject only made complicated by economists.
Ok sorry to be all preachy. We are both on the same team and I think in the end we are talking about different things.
