/sci/ - Science & Math

>math is about numbers and formulas

No its not.

>math is useful

It can me. But not necessarily, and it not being ''useful'' is not a bad thing either.

Have a read.

Haha I know right?

NEETs like us can do one or two of these chapters in 3 or so days, lmao

Heres my hypothesis

Everybody who likes, has a profile picture or something related to this from Makise Kurisu is:

1. A pretentious smug faggot with a superiority complex
2. Somebody who thinks is smarter than everybody else he comes in contact with and wants to let everybody know because ''Lol XD I indentify with le super genius girl''

Its been 6 months and I think I am correct. Every makise faggot I've met fits on either one of those categories.

>So it's somehow a rural Ohioan's fault that he lost the job he had for 20 years due to his company moving it overseas

No. Its the fault of a free market capitalistic economy.

>to be cheap shitbaggers

There's nothing cheap with conforming to such rules. It is not mystery that people like to buy more for less and that companies like to keep costs low.

It is not '''''greed''''' is the efficient movement and use of scarce resources.

It's not that your opinion is ''''''wrong'''''' it's that you gotta point fingers in the right direction.

I don't think you understand economics 101. But based on what little I know I'll give you an explanation.

>you want to get rid of the only thing that's safeguarding sellers from raising bread prices like how apple raises iphone prices

Sellers don't ''''''raise''''''' prices out of ''''''greed'''''.

Prices, more than a number, reflect a reality of whats really going on. Be it excessive supply or demand, in the end, such principles are there because there's an inherent scarcity to human resources. Be it water, land, phones, you call it. There's just simply not ''enough'' to please everyone needs.

In a free market economy (our economy, most of the worlds economy), prices are what runs the show. Not the big men at the top of the Nation making economic policies (which are what tend to fuck everything up in the long term). And, guess whats the most important thing prices tell us? How to use our scarce resources efficiently.

Now, your argument is entirely wrong. What safeguards bread sellers from not raising their prices is competition. Not price controls. Same with Apple, or any phone company, or any company that produces something out of something else for the people.

>You think america can just import 100% of goods is sustainable? What about food.

Yes. America can import as much food as she needs and, guess what!, it will also be cheaper.

You need to research on the effects of price controls on an economy. They may sound good on paper, but its been proven that they are not.

Extensive research has been done on the subsidies placed upon the agricultural industry. Do you know why they are there right?

Because at one point farmers found out they just couldn't keep selling their goods and still be competitive, so they were trading at a loss. Then the government starts to subsidize them, buying their overproduction, leaving it or storing somewhere else (maybe to rot) so the Farmers keep overproducing.

Lots of people bandwagon on other peoples achievements in order to validate themselves in some sort of way.

A good example is the same thing /pol/ tards do all the time: ''Muh white civilization, muh white man inventions'', when they themselves aren't the best examples of men to really be saying such things. They are just proud retards jumping on the ''I am superior train'' even though they've never done anything with their lives (and probably never will).

>aeronautics engineering
>most people think too highly of themselves that or they have a enormous superiority complex but thats the way I view them. And the way I view them is probably a projection of my own insecurities.
