    git,

    you answered it yourself

    “I was taught at a very young age to always send Thank You cards when one gives you any type of gift or help.”

    they weren’t taught that but they were taught other things (like maybe selflessly helping out, not expecting a thank you in return)

    thank you dy,

    in other words if a company can charge a higher price and the demand stays the same (or drops a little) the group that the company is in is demand inelastic (i learned micro and macro economics) and therefore is a price setter, because demand barely changes (which is what happened with the airline companies)

    ??coffee addict

    ubepuitin,

    do you remember when the price of oil went up, it gave the airlines a “reason” to charge “baggage fees” yet when the pirce went down again they just keep it because it gives them more money

    the same is done over here,

    if we raise the minimum wage that gives mcdonalds the “excuse” to charge more (hey, the cost of labor went up) however if we lower it it will just mean more profits for them

    wait a minute (i missed this on the first read)

    “and they only deserve 50 cents profit?”

    huh? who’s to decide how much profit a company desrves? the government

    if a company could produce something for a penny and could sell it for 1,000 dollars the government has to take away 99% of it because he only “desrves 10 dollars (9.99 profit)

    ubequitin,

    that’s great (option 2) now a dollar would get a smaller burger

    3 is also good, they wouldn’t hire more people thereby keeping the unemployment numbers high for the next president

    ubequitin,

    thats right that the consumer doesnt care about cost only price however the seller does, whereby if the seller doesn’t “break even” he won’t sell the product

    yes your right about your second point because i presume that the PRICE factors in the COST one really has to be an idiot to sell under COST unless he was liquidating his inventory

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    yet again ubequitin,

    you confuse COST and PRICE

    PRICE is based off of supply and demand

    COST isn’t

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    that’s correct ubequitin,

    however i’m talking about a business, not something that flopped and the person wants to sell, albeit at a loss

    a lot of businesses try out how good a product is (free sample) before making a gazillion of that product so they don’t have to lose money on the product

    in reply to: I'm not saying anything #1081600
    ??coffee addict

    oh no (rolls eyess)

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    ubequitin,

    “the cost of a product is based on raw materials + direct labor (how much the worker works X wage) + manufacturing overhead, which is computed based off of labor costs (like .25 of labor costs)”

    means COST (like cost of goods sold) whereas

    This is not all there is, what is probably more important is what the public is welling (or has available) to spend on the item

    is talking about price, which is based off of supply and demand, 2 different things

    however everyone agrees the price cannot be less than the cost of the product

    ??coffee addict

    what i don’t think is understood over here is a corporations drive for “profits”

    it’s what gives bonuses to ceos

    it raises the stock price of a company

    it hires more employees

    even if the company is going to make the same amount of sales (revenues) their expenses go up do to labor costs and viola less “profit” which kills the company at the quarterly report and drives down the stock price

    ??coffee addict

    ubiquitin,

    see my comment to joe, i understand the laws of supply and demand apply here (as with most other places) however if all restaurants have to pay more money for the labor ($15 dollars an hour!) they would have to charge more to the customer and if they can’t find a medium they go kaput and welcome to higher unemployment

    additionally, if the price of burgers go up (because people have more money to spend on them as you say) then there is inflation where the burger is anyway the same percentage of a persons hourly wage

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    yserbeius,

    did you read my example?

    if mcdonalds (big company) sells a burger for a dollar, if it costs more than a dollar to make they’re going to raise the price

    im specifically bringing mcdonalds in because deblasio wants to raise the minimum wage for restaurants to 15 dollars an hour

    ??coffee addict
    Participant

    but joe, my example proves otherwise, unless you’re taking supply and demand into account, and less people would pay 2 dollars more for the salad, but either way the employee would have to raise the price of the salad

    just because you might be happy that we have yerushalayim doesn’t make it right, if the alternative was moshiach here and a beis hamikdash you would be crying that we got a consolation prize

    The traditional conservative position was that giving tsadakah deprived the poor of an incentive to work and created dependency – and therefore one shouldn’t give them anything since it would hurt them in the long run. This was part of the “protestant ethic” in western culture but is alien to our culture. Indeed, one can argue that the introduction of public welfare and the many entitlement programs was an example of Jewish influence in America.

    that isn’t true, the torah talks about not being a slave to the master, due to a sense of dependency (eved ivri)

    the torah says aseih shabascha k’chol v’al titzarech l’briyos

    additionally, the highest form of tzedakah is giving a person a job, and not a snese of dependancy

    democrats are for community support (forcing people through tax to give tzedakah) while republicans are for individual support (tax breaks for charitable contributions)

    The voice of moderate and modern Mulims is not something that is heard, esp. when it comes to frum publications.

    amil,

    is it heard in regards to any publications? can you tell me their names (the publications or the people themselves)?

    do they have message boards where moderate muslims defend jews?

    i know the son of the leader of hamas is one, but he converted to christianity so any other names?

    i see neither nfgo nor besalel really read my post

    what i was saying is newbee asked, why is the left wing pro islam? meaning every person in the left wing

    what besalel said was “So they flock to the one sanctuary where they feel their anti semitism can flourish without worry: the left.”

    meaning that not all people on the left are however anti semites found their way there

    basalel,

    basically you’re saying not all left wingers are anti semites, but rather all anti semites are left wingers

    Animals desire other animals,

    and they (I assume) don’t have a yetzer hara.

    didnt chava give the fruit to the animals too?
