Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu."

Well worth finding the time to watch: www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

Burning Man attendees encounter microeconomics. sfstandard.com/2024/08/15/b...
By Jillian D'Onfro Published Aug. 15, 2024 • 3:09pm When Graham Chapman saw the bargain bin prices that Burning Man tickets were reselling for online, his stomach dropped. His partner could no longer make it, so Chapman needed to sell his extra pass. Typically this wouldn't be a problem so close to the annual desert gathering. For years, demand for Burning Man tickets has outpaced supply, so Chapman, an experienced Burner who lives in San Francisco, wasn't worried about selling one at face value (roughly $670, including fees). But this isn't a typical year: Burning Man still hasn't sold out online, the organization hawked tickets in-person for the first time since 2011 and Facebook is flooded with people desperately trying to offload extra passes. Chapman quickly realized that he would almost certainly lose money. "It sucks, because I don't have that disposable income to spare," he said. Most years, people are scorned for trying to sell their tickets for a profit as it's seen as a betrayal of the event's principles. But that philosophy hasn't translated in reverse. Chapman felt insulted by someone describing themselves as a longtime Burner offering to buy his ticket for $300. "It's literally ticket gouging, just from the buyer's end," he said. "I just got the offer and I was like, 'Eww, this is gross and skeezy and opportunistic." When another person proposed $200, Chapman seethed with anger, responding that "decommodification goes both ways." Some posts on Facebook asking to buy tickets for $300 or less have been greeted with open disdain ("Disgusting," wrote one woman) or snark ("People being outraged that capitalism is real at BMan is actually hilarious," wrote another). Regardless, the reality for sellers right now seems to be losing hundreds of dollars - or not finding a buyer at all.
