Shhh! Hyper-moralists are immune to the laws of supply and demand.
“Shhh! Hyper-moralists are immune to the laws of supply and demand.”
Triple E, are you suggesting that any commodity that can be sold, should be sold?
Body parts, children, cocaine, sex? Certain elements of the market “demand” all of these. Somebody in Saudi Arabia or China would buy your daughter if she’s for sale.
Does the demand make it moral to supply it, or do hyper-amoralists believe that moral judgment should provide no balance at all to supplying whatever is demanded?
Obviously, social conservatives believe a candidate who had decision-making authority for 10 years on the board of a corp that sells tens of millions a year in pornography, which is a proven motivating factor in sex crimes, should be held publicly accountable.
Mitt’s “see no evil” spin won’t sell nearly as well as Marriott’s porn.
