    Theoretically, it means more jobs, more disposable income, and increased demand for goods and services. Demand increasing relative to supply causes market prices to rise whereas supply increasing relative to demand causes market prices to fall.

    Thank you. It seems bass-ackwards, though. I'll stick to science.

    Economics is considered a social science. And market theory actually makes a lot of sense.

    It seems everything bottom lines with the stock market.

    Not necessarily. Fed interest rates and treasury bond yields also factor in.

      It’s simple: fewer sandwich-makers in the sub-basement workshop means lower and slower productivity, which leads to failure to reach capacity in the fresh sandwich readiness levels and lower volume in the stored perishable sandwich inventory. That causes greater need for outsourced sandwiches, meaning higher costs (usually at lower quality). In turn, as expenditures increase contrary to regular income from Grammar Police salary (badly damaged after the defunding debacle), and from the sideline ventures of Harem activities suffering from contract disputes, and diminishing quarterly returns in the Tilde Exchange markets, budget constraints are pushed to their absolute limits. On top of all that, there are no longer any tax write-offs for the fees and fines that are wracked up in defending myself in the filing of restraining orders in faraway Minnesota. Fewer and fewer Minneapolis judges are excepting accepting the lowest bidder bribes, which means that more judge-shopping takes place, which is just as expensive as the bribe in itself. The bottom line is, I just can’t keep up with all these payouts. Grrrrrrrr.

    I shared with a friend about your challenges and she's trying to create as quickly as possible for you and to hopefully help.

      Gee, thanks, Pal!
      (I’ll just need her contact information, please, and do you know whether or not she has a problem with things such as basements, claustrophobia, darkness, etc.?)

    You're welcome!
    I'm unsure about her thoughts on those topics but when I went over to her place to visit, she had been down in her basement (located right below her kitchen here) working. She likes keeping out of the limelight most of the time but I was able to sneak a picture while we talked.

    I think that's a pic of my mother circa 1950's.

     Wait, you’re not an economist? ((((Listen, here’s how it works: for every four dollars you earn, you owe me one dollar.))))
