Artificial scarcity of demand?? From boycotting? What? You are looking at this in a vacuum. In a free market there are choices. When consumers stop consuming a product from one business, they go consume the product at a different business. They don’t just stop consuming the product altogether. That’s what the free market enables. Calling that artificial scarcity of demand is a bunch of baloney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycotts can absolutely be the right thing. Just because they are not "free market" does not make boycotts categorically bad. We have laws and regulations on our markets, too. Laws/regulations are not categorically bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm alluding to the Tammy Faye shameless self promoter types littering the environment. But to be fair to your analysis they do relate to one another's interpretation. it's the same.
