Supply and demand aren’t lies, it’s more the free market is a lie, which allows the supply side to be manipulated to create false scarcity. It’s competition that’s supposed to bring prices down but the governments that are supposed to regulate the markets to allow competition instead use measures that look like they’ll make the bug players play fair but actually make it difficult or impossible for new players to enter the game.
Yeah but it’s consumer choice, they have cheaper gas efficient sedans on the lot. People just choose the big loud truck instead, at least here in the US.

Yes and no but isn’t it interesting that everyone buys suvs (because of the demand!!) if all you can buy are suvs?
That’s what I mean by lie. The whole context and responsibility or influence of the consumer.

It’s not really choice if all I can buy are suv?
It’s the illusion of a free market with monopolies and controlled conditions.
