I ruined my high school economy teacher's lesson on supply and demand, in which demand goes down as supply becomes over saturated, because the lesson included an analogue in the form of a big bag of Milky Way bars. He selected me first and asked if I wanted a candy but I had to eat the whole thing right there. I did. "You want another? Same rules." And this went on until I ate the entire fucking bag.

What was supposed to happen was you'd get sick of eating the candy and no longer want one. But I'm a huge fat fuck and didn't have lunch that day. Didn't get sent to the office or anything, but he was kinda pissed.

A very accurate debunking of trickle down economics. He should have been thanking you.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
