Scotch sales started to dip in the early 1970s. Instead of cutting prices or reducing output, distillers doubled their prices and marketed scotch as a high-end product. Sales went up. Supply and demand!

This is a great illustration of what's wrong with economics. We take very complex phenomena and reduce them to comically simplistic diagrams like this, that don't stand up to empirical or theoretical scrutiny, and then mock people who don't repeat our baseless, simplistic dogma.

"Well if they rent it at a loss they'll lose less money" They bought/developed the property with a certain target rent in mind, the moment they sign a lease with lower rent they become functionally unable to hit that target except on a single day 1-3 years in the future!

Wordfreq, an open source tool that analyzed trends in human language usage in 40 languages, shut down because "generative AI has polluted the data" and there is so much AI spam that it is now very difficult to analyze broad trends in how people write 404media.co/project-analyzin…
