So the NY government shouldn't be trying to solve problems for NY residents? Make it make sense.
- WalterBright 2y agoA restaurant has a fixed number of reservations possible. How do you suggest allocating them when demand exceeds supply? One way or another, some will not be able to get a reservation.
- happytoexplain 2y agoThis seems unrelated. The problem is not lack of supply, which is natural, but rather how the supply is consumed. Similar to scalping.
- WalterBright 2y agoBoth are inevitable consequences of supply and demand. You cannot repeal the law of supply and demand, this new law will be yet another failure.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoThis is reductive. There are many things that are beyond supply and demand: love, sex, children. Why should restaurant reservations be any different?
- WalterBright 2y ago> There are many things that are beyond supply and demand: love, sex, children. Those are most definitely connected to supply and demand. High status men get high status women, and vice versa. What do you think drives the price of a hoe? And how many children one has is often the result of willingness to pay for them. > Why should restaurant reservations be any different? And indeed, they aren't.
- kelseyfrog 2y agoMy mistake for not reading who I was responding to. Forget I said anything.
- WalterBright 2y agoSorry, what were you referring to?
- kelseyfrog 2y agoYou just have a reputation. I cannot engage further. I'm annulling my original response.
- kortilla 2y ago> Why should restaurant reservations be any different? Because they are absolutely constrained by supply. Restaurants have limited space and supplies to cook. What you are suggesting is prima facie ridiculous. Can you suggest how you could make restaurant supplies unlimited?
