The genius part. Not the hair.
But I guess maybe it’s just as well. I highly doubt Lana would understand—even if she DID used to wear her boyfriend’s soccer shorts under her school skirt.
Friday, March 5, U.S. Economics
Demand = How much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers.
Supply = How much the market can offer.
Equilibrium = When supply and demand are equal, the economy is said to be in equilibrium. The amount of goods being supplied is exactly the same as the amount of goods being demanded.
Disequilibrium = This occurs whenever the price or quantity is not equal to demand/supply.
(So, basically, the student government of AEHS is currently in disequilibrium due to our funds (zero) not being equal to the demand for one night’s rental of Alice Tully Hall ($5,728.00).)
Alfred Marshall, author of The Principles of Economics (circa 1890): “Economics is on one side the study of wealth; and on the other, and more important side, a part of the study of man.”
Huh. So that sort of makes economics a SOCIAL science. Like psychology. Because it isn’t really about numbers. It’s about PEOPLE, and what they are willing to spend—or do—to get what they want.
Like Lana, for instance. You know, how she was going to rat me out to Amber if I didn’t get her those invitations to Grandmère’s party?
That was a classic example of supply (I had the supply) versus demand (her demand that I give her what she wanted).
All of which leads me to believe that it’s entirely possible Lana Weinberger isn’t self-actualized at all:
She’s simply really good at economics!

One more period until the cast list goes up! Oh, I hope Boris gets the part of Gustav! He wants it so badly!
I hope he gets it, too, Tina! I hope everyone gets the parts they want.
What part do YOU want, Mia?
Me???? Nothing!!! I didn’t even submit a photo or a form, remember? I stink at that kind of thing. Acting and stuff, I mean.
Don’t put yourself down like that! Your Ciara imitation has gotten really EXCELLENT. And I thought you were really good as Rosagunde! Don’t you want the part just a little bit?
No, really. I’m a writer, not an actress. Remember??? I want to WRITE the things the people onstage say. Well, not really, because there’s no actual money in playwrighting. But you get what I mean.
Oh. Right. That makes sense.
Well, all I can say is, if I don’t get the part of Rosagunde, we’ll all know it’s because of the N word.
Nude scene???? When did you do a nude scene????
No, you idiot. NEPOTISM. Favoritism shown to a family member.
But that won’t happen because Mia didn’t really audition and doesn’t even WANT a part. So you should be fine, Lilly! Gosh, I hope we all get the parts we want—even if that means NO part!
I’ll second that!
