My local supermarket moved the canned peaches (without sugar) out of the canned food aisle and put them in the “trendy” food aisle. Nobody could find them, and the people who wanted them didn’t want the canned peaches (with sugar), so they didn’t buy either.
The local supermarket then said, “People stopped buying the canned peaches (without sugar) because they can’t find them, but they’re not buying the canned peaches (with sugar) because they don’t want them. Since they want the canned peaches (without sugar) but they don’t want the canned peaches (with sugar), we will raise the price of the canned peaches (without sugar) and lower the price of the canned peaches (with sugar) to comply with supply and demand.”
And that’s economics. I have to pay more for canned peaches (without sugar) because the store moved them away from the canned peaches (with sugar).
I agree completely, it can be difficult to tell a scholarly debate from a rant sometimes! Unless people use exclamation marks! Then we KNOW they’re ranting! ESPECIALLY when CAPITAL LETTERS come into the MiX!
Not Freya. Frigg. Also known as Frija. According to wikipedia, “The connection with and possible earlier identification of the goddess Freyja with Frigg in the Proto-Germanic period is a matter of scholarly debate.”
It’s Frigg’s Day, from Old English Frigedæg (“day of Frig”).
