    supply and demand.

    that’s a theory about price discovery that actually has no predictive value. it is not a magic phrase that traverses space-time

      Okay so you are responsible for the next dead cow that the company has to produce now to replace the one you bought.

      Your action led to a dead cow in the future.

      Does that work?

        no, that’s not causal. but even if it were, it doesn’t make me responsible for the killing of the plants or animals in the past.

        no, they don’t. they could choose not to do that. I am not responsible for their choices.
