By all means, respond to such incoherent pseudo-economic babble.
Really.
Use some sound economic terms of art. Cite some published, peer-reviewed economists.
You seem to believe you’re talking to a leftie, or someone lacking an education in economics, or not conversant with the topic, or incapable of mathematics.
Worried about responding to incoherent pseudo-economic babble? I don’t mind. I’m doing it now.
At an introductory and simplistic level, since it appears you would benefit from such, what I mean by oversubscribed in the context of economies of scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale) is what is meant by microeconomists in this context always about diseconomies of scale(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diseconomies_of_scale): the demand for the good has pushed the market past the downward slope of the long run average cost curve and every additional unit produced will cost more. See the sections on isolation of decision makers from the results of their decisions, Inertia (unwillingness to change), and Public and government opposition.
Any of that sound familiar?
