Tbh, gym owners weren't exploiting anyone. People were just generating them a bigger income compared to how much money they had to spend on maintaining the gym and now they have to spend more money, so the income is relatively lower. Now they start exploiting gym members, because they want the same relative income, so they try to put responsibility for those additional maintainance costs onto their clients. And it actually is scummy, because it's not like the gym wouldn't survive, just owners don't want to lose money (which is understandable from the business perspective, but hurtful for clients).

Australia did this for the wool industry in the 70s and it caused the collapse of the wool industry in the 90s. It was called Australian Wool Reserve Price Scheme and the scheme was: The Australian Wool Council would buy and stockpile wool when the wool price was below the market floor price to guarantee a minimum price for wool producers and then sell it when the price went back up. This eventually led to wool producers over-producing (because there was no risk for them) and when years later, the market price had a major fall due to Russia and China greatly reducing their buying of Australian wool, this caused the market to be flooded with wool and the AWC having to use their entire billion dollar plus reserve to buy the wool eventually ending up with a 4.7 million bales (almost one billion kgs of wool) stockpile when they finally suspended the scheme in 1991. It took 10 years for the Australian Wool Realisation Commission (who took ownership of the wool stockpile) to sell all of the wool. The flooding of the wool market from the wool producers over-producing and the stockpile being sold caused the wool price to drop to less than half the market floor price from 1987. The pricing collapse caused a lot of farmers and wool businesses to go bankrupt.

A comment on gym use as a third place: Me and my fellow 20-somethings still playing DanceDanceRevolution (Round1 and D&B and local arcades) have a good thing going. It's essentially High Intensity Interval Training once you get to the Asian difficulty level (SP15/DP14+). It was where I made my best college memories, grinding my heart out to J-Core music and watching my buddies do the same. It comes out to about 5 bucks for 40 minutes of nonstop cardio, which we all paid in over and over for hours on end. The youth NEED third places and we are willing to pay for it. I'm just happy to have found the ADHD version of a gym.

Gyms used to be social in the 80s and 90s, with things like smoothie bars and day care services. That all got stripped out when Planet Fitness, etc, bought out the bottom of the industry around the turn of the century. Obvi there are still higher end gyms that do a lot of this stuff and more, but this used to be a norm in more working class gyms too. Higher end gyms have also largely preferred to specialize and do tend to frown on socialization and loitering, imo, even when they offer group activities and sports like racquetball or basketball, etc.

[@Luminousreign]

Not really true. There were all of the celebrity athlete and bodybuilder gyms that promoted being tryhards and that they were the space to do it in. It was for people that wanted to focus on their gains right as fitness was becoming a major phenomenon.

@@Shiftarus I am saying it was already a popular subset of gym well before planet fitness. The idea that planet fitness bought out all of these gyms that were doing something else and stripped them out isnt really true.

Can someone walk me through how price gouging has led to shortages? The cobra metaphor is nice and all but it is just a metaphor, so it'd be nice to have an actual argument or even data backing it up

[@Neotenico]

A while back, I cooked up in my own personal economic "manifesto" the idea that education and healthcare-adjacent institutions should have % profit-restrictions placed on most goods and services. Your point at 8:25 where you posit that this kind of policy would likely just lead to shortages simply because there's no growth incentive for businesses or their investors kind of shot a giant hole in something that I've felt confident in for damn near 5 years now. Appreciate that this content challenges me to think deeper.

[@flaming_ace]

law of unintended consequences does exist, but my problem is that argument is used nearly exclusively by reactionaries to justify not making a change, even when there is a well thought out plan to counter any significant consequences, as it takes a second to tell a lie and an hour to disprove it. there is a need to actually do proper research rather than trying to bend the research to fit your beliefs, but i refuse to believe that things which have proven to work elsewhere cannot work in north america cause there wouldn't be any incentive for businesses. if we base what is possible off what benefits the wealthy then we are pouring gasoline on an already burning planet. the wealthy are directly benefitted by harming everyone else, and when i say "the wealthy" its not your friend making 100k+ or even a small landlord with 5 properties. that landlord is still a problem taking more supply than they are able to use, but the wealthy im referring to are the ceos of massive corporations, people whose net worth is measured in the billions. we can't keep trying to appease them in the hopes one day its profitable for them not to exploit us, we need to actually hold them accountable, and force them to do the right thing. we have shortages without price gouging laws, there are massive food deserts across north america because we capitulate to "small business", which is absolutely a term weaponized by big business to protect their profits. if what he said was enough for a big hole in your belief, you gotta flesh out your theory, preferably with some analysis of the flaws of neo-liberalism. life without capitalism is possible, we don't need to like the boots of the rich this hard

[@crediblesalamander8056]

one thing that's frustrating is that a lot of economic problems are just taken as bad for granted without proper contextualization. printing money is bad because it raises prices. price controls are bad because they cause shortages. but why is it bad? let's say you introduce money into the supply and then prices rise proportionally to that increase in supply. this is only bad if prices rise such that they become unaffordable to everyday people. but this is only the case if the newly introduced money isn't evenly distributed and wages don't rise proportionately to the inflation (surprise surprise it's not and they don't). some people (not big a) like to blame inflation solely on money printing and use it as a scapegoat instead of addressing the real issues. price controls are similarly maligned even though there's a history of successful implementation.

Hey Big A, "quick" question here. You mention that companies can continue to raise prices because the government keeps printing money. To my knowledge this money doesn't reach the normal consumer and instead goes into the pockets of big "failing" companies. It could be the case that this trickles down to people in the company (ceo wages 💀). But I don't see how this would effect consumers at large. Getting some insight/knowledge into this would be greatly appreciated.

[@AtriocClips]

It doesn't normally - it did during 2020-2022. Covid money printing led to things like stimulus checks, mortgage forbearance (don't have to pay), student loan forebearance, upward pressure on wages, etc. Avg ppl had a ton of excess savings in those years so companies could keep raising prices. Now the excess savings has ran out and people are using credit to try and maintain the same level of spending. As they run into the wall on that companies can no longer raise prices as freely because people are tapped out.
