This is reductive.

There are many things that are beyond supply and demand: love, sex, children. Why should restaurant reservations be any different?



> There are many things that are beyond supply and demand: love, sex, children.

Those are most definitely connected to supply and demand.

High status men get high status women, and vice versa. What do you think drives the price of a hoe? And how many children one has is often the result of willingness to pay for them.

And indeed, they aren't.


My mistake for not reading who I was responding to. Forget I said anything.


Sorry, what were you referring to?


You just have a reputation. I cannot engage further. I'm annulling my original response.


> Why should restaurant reservations be any different?

Because they are absolutely constrained by supply. Restaurants have limited space and supplies to cook.

What you are suggesting is prima facie ridiculous. Can you suggest how you could make restaurant supplies unlimited?
