OP hasn ' t . <| sep |> Wow that hiring policy is really sexist . <| sep |> You shouldn ' t have apologized , he does lack empathy . <| sep |> Also , why do we assume supply wouldn ' t adjust to fit demand ? Why do we assume a person ' s demand goes up just because they have more money ? Why isn ' t the new demand focused around things they never demanded before rather than simply demanding more of what they already have ? Furthermore why is demand in this small area after the bump in income sufficient to grossly expend available supply ? Why can supply not shift slightly to account for greater demand without the entire supply chain blowing up ? Usually when a grocery store has low demand for something the price can be higher because they don ' t order as much as often but when there ' s higher demand for something the price can drop because they buy more of it in greater quantity and higher demand means more people are willing to compete to satisfy this market than when its a significantly smaller demand . This small village isn ' t a significant portion of the whole economy afterall . They ' re not isolated and I ' m not sure they ' re going to all suddenly start buying caviar either instead of staples .
