Does anyone know where you can buy cycling jerseys with an anti-war
or anti-Bush theme?

No, but I know where you can get some war-mongering jerseys. Peace
is overrated.

Yeah, name one great thing or idea to come from Switzerland...

Toblerone.

Nice catch! Let's see if it works...

I don't see a comparison, so I don't think Godwin's Law is triggered:

True economies of scale can only occur at full production and as has
been pointed out, supply is restricted.

Correct, maximum production efficiency occurs at highest production
levels.


=======================================
Economies of scale are not equivalent to maximum production efficiency.
Maximum production efficiency rarely occurs at highest production levels,
even ignoring staffing issues (which you can in a highly automated process
related to most pertroleum products) - it would occur only if the total
production process is perfectly tuned to produce across the entire process
at the highest production levels. Any section not so tuned and at highest
volume will produce a very inefficient bottleneck. Also unlikely, as most
processes don't function at that level very often or very long.

Economies of scale can act almost indepently of the efficiency of
production. The odds are that they will be highly correlated, but not
congruent. The longer the time frame that you use to define production
efficiency, the more likely a closer correlation - and the more likely it
ISN'T highest volume.

Try growing a beard and riding a recumbent.

I thought you were going to say "before I noticed the sign" there...

Why not? Lowering demand tends to lower prices.

Because fuel is produced to meet demand, and the more you produce, the
cheaper it is per unit to produce. Learn about "economies of scale" from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale.

Ahh. So higher gas prices in summer are the result of oil companies
*cutting* production so the unit price will rise due to less fuel
being processed and the economies of scale effect?

Is this why oil prices rise due to cuts in production by OPEC?

No, he should have had his ass kicked and been jailed for the duration for
sedition. We are at war, folks. How easily you all have forgotten that.

Yeah, we should have just given them a big ole hug. That would have solved
everything.

I think you can thank the folks from Mexico for that.
