In my experience, everything works with cocaine!

JamishT was a heck of a guy,
With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Holy shit this may be one of the stupidest quotes I've ever heard.

It's a pretty stupid quote, but there is a bit of truth to that. Increasing the supply will drive down the price, which will in turn drive up the demand (theoretically).

If there is an abundance of cheap energy, that will generate demand.

I was thinking that ... but then I thought would that not mainly apply to a new thing? You introduce a new thing to the market and if it's good and it turns out there's a market, BAM, you got a demand for it! First the supply, then the demand. Like ... I dunno ... Pokemon. Wasn't that a brand new thing that took off ... I dunno, some different example then, I don't know economics!

Or if it's an existing product, you could do some kind of new marketing campaign or rebranding or what have you and generate a demand. That could be a version too of it, I suppose

It works in the reverse, too. When there is a gas shortage, prices go up, and people drive less.

.... Less gas ... higher prices ... sooooooooooooo, you can have less supply and more price....es?

Like ... a limited issue comic book? If there's less of them, that makes them more valuable so I wanna buy 'em more! .... am I getting it?

Kellyanne Conway tries her hand at prop comedy.

SNL turns out to be prophetic.

He thinks the fucking Janissaries were weak, sissy drains on the Ottoman civilization? These Janissaries?

Also they weren't castrated, he's thinking of harem guards or something and how the heck is that what ended the Ottomans? They had a really decent run as civilizations go... that whole statement qualifes as Not Even Wrong.

Here is a remarkably unfunny video about how conservatives, liberals, and libertarians react to the total solar eclipse.



The conservative and liberal both overreact and go into hysterics. You would expect the libertarian to maybe sell $100 eclipse glasses or something. Because that would be, you know, an actual joke. Instead the libertarian is sitting and reading a book. What? What the fuck is the point here? Everyone is a retard except libertarians? Libertarians are soulless assholes who hate space? This is why nobody wants to be libertarian.
