It tells producers to make more of a certain type of product and other producers to make fewer of their best guess of what I like. Together with all of the other purchasers of cars this season, we will exercise some degree of control of the production for the next quarter. The manufacturers will see what sold and shift their production accordingly as best they can. Consumers vote when they choose video and communications services and products. An important part of all of these choices is the price.
Price is the way in which manufacturing resources are allocated.
As consumers have limited dollars, they can t choose everything. They select what is most important to them. Keeping all of this in mind, I get upset when I see my government messing with my ability to vote for economic choices. When my choices in the marketplace are limited by either discriminating taxes or subsidies or artificial rules, my vote is marginalized or even taken away. Yet we see this happening all of the time.
