Likely, although "everyone is dissatisfied, but not enough to leave" can also be a result of compromise.
That's a distortion. It's more like, lots of people are dissatisfied, but all of the alternatives are economic/network-effect suicide. It's more like people living and working in the crappy mining town, because the only alternatives are like living as a hobo in the woods.
- dllthomas 8y agoI'm not sure if you're saying that what I'm saying is a distortion of the situation, or that the compromise represents monopolistic distortion of the market. I think the former? If so, that's a much stronger reading than I intended; I wasn't saying "this is what's happening" but rather "this is a thing that happens in general, it may be part of the explanation here, I don't know how to really pick it apart."
