Have you seen a middle-eastern market? Of the kind where they bargain. Like in fairy-tales

imagine citing a fantasy trope to justify economic policy jfc

I don't need to justify anything to you. It's an example for educational purposes.

EDIT: And if you think it's just a fantasy trope, then you probably haven't been out of your state.

I wonder what's the longest text you've read in your life and understood anything at all.

Hey aren't you that guy from like a week ago who refused to read a two paragraph article someone linked you?

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I remember no such thing, but if you link me the thread, we'll see.
