ven the extended long-version of "supply and demand" is a lie, the rules of monopoly profit, and currency counterfeiting government-corpo-welfare-assistance  clearly break it. the demand for company profit leads businesses to inflate the price of goods by creating scarcity in the markets they dominate, thus profiting simultaneously from producing the goods, and not producing the goods. (note this isn't margin setting). "supply and demand" never dictates either the value of goods, the value of labor, or even the value of commodities. and this *can* be a good thing. see the price of milk over the last 90 years. it's a flatline. capitalists spin that web further and further, spluttering on about how its the "simple version" and giving excuse after excuse - nah, turns out they're just liars and thieves. monopoly power from judencorp and the ability to coutnerfeit money by issuance of stock, is basically governmetn cost-shifting that reduces supply and demand to a false-song. mcdonalds under-priced their burgers since they had the power to counterfeit money, thus passing the benefit of that currency-printing directly to the plebians which made it okay. also the price of oil went to $-37, that is impossible in supply and demand. the answer is the entire market is a ponzie of shell games.
