a girl made a video one year of her and her friend fake fighting, when another group of friends imitated ot, making them look stupid. one of the girls was so upset she took the video off youtube and never watched it again, until one night her tv flickered and played her video, she committed suicide, because you read this you have to post it to 5 videos or else she’ll kill you in your bed tonight.

Its hilarious that this absolute hack job is being pushed in the skrool systems.

this is garbage. stop polluting naive minds with your leftist propaganda.
unintelligible …
unintelligible gibberish

after watching this i think i have lost all hope….. idiots.
Price of 4.99 …
Price of 4.99 versus REAL price. Note 0 extra taxes for people
Should be added: (numbers made up, just the concept counts)
- making radio smart way so it CAN be recycled + .5
- making radio in factories not polluting air, water, etc. +.5
- making package of radio with degradable material so it can ENRICH land, not pollute +.5
That’s all I can think of.
+$1.50 … would you go bankrupt? Of course not. Only $1.50 because of economy of scale indeed!
But why not? Because it’s easier not to.
I am not going to …
I am not going to discuss things with a person who offends the other side. Get your own Rush Limbo show …
From your post, clearly you are so angry and living in some conspiracy theories of “neo-Marxists” …
You should ask some of the old way of thinking Chrysler and GM people who also used to be very afraid of innovative way of thinking … ask them how they feel about their cars, jobs today …
Recycling, but isn’t that “neo-Marxists” concept? I bet it was just 10 years ago ..
Gee! Wow
The plan of the …
The plan of the neo-Marxists is as follows: Create the illusion of a crisis where there is none. Then us that crisis to increase the size of government, taxes, socialist programs…etc. In the case of this $4.99 radio nonsense, they probably want to impose a plastic tax on the consumer.
1. It’s called …
1. It’s called recycling and it’s very cheap.
2. What pollution?
3. What slave labor?
4. The US army subsidizes petrochemicals China uses to make plastics? Do tell, retard, do tell.
Pay more for stuff. …
Pay more for stuff…uh, good to know?
If this my post, I …
If this my post, I would take little people like you out or blocked.
4.99 is cheap only because
1) -the cost of this toxic box disposal later on is not added to 4.99
2) - pollution of air, health problems ociated with toxicity of it, is passed to others, not included in price
3) slave labor
4) oil used for production subsidized by army (cost of army not in price of radio)
Our accounting SUCKS!
You are like many here 2,3 years ago defending GM. Like fish, calling names, all you can do.
The ugly marxist …
The ugly marxist harlot in that video wants to make the price of goods artificially high by imposing taxes on things like wood, lowering everyone’s standard of living.
I hope i educated you on the issue, brain dead leftist dog.
1. It’s not ” …
1. It’s not “economic” of scale, it’s “economies” of scale, stupid rat commie .
2. EVERYTHING is taken into account when determining the price of a good. It’s called supply and demand, dumb commie .
E.G. If we are really “running out of trees” then the SUPPLY of wood would be low and its price would skyrocket. That supposed $4.99 radio is cheap precisely because all the resources that went into it are abundant.
Geniuses,
First, …
Geniuses,
First, schedule a vasectomy.
Second, realize that this video is not an example not understanding economies of scale.. It is about how the total manuf cost of a good is not paid for solely by the manufacturer.
The radio’s plastic shell. Why was it so cheap? B/c China has lax or non-enforced industrial pollution laws. So instead of paying to dispose of the toxic plastic byproducts, he dumps them in a river. Eventually, the govt or people pay to clean it up.
We might as well …
We might as well stop doing anything
sit in a hole and died……boy does that sound like FUN!!!!
Wow, if this makes …
Wow, if this makes sense to you, you are beyond saving.
If they were making one radio, then of course the price would be greater than $4.99, but they are making tens of thousands of the things.
Economic of scale? …
Economic of scale? That’ s not the same thing you stupid person. ( see it is not hard to call someone stupid).
Economic of scale is to take things and if you do many of them, have large quantity, the price per item is lower.
But what she is talking about it is that the staff they take, regardless of how much of it, is not truly paid for. say they produce 1 million items by cutting forest down. true cost of the forest, then pollution, etc. is not accounted for! We are running out of resources!
Would someone tell …
Would someone tell this stupid commie about economies of scale.
