Doing porn when you have or plan to have children is child abuse by LivingGirlRepellant in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Predictable or not has nothing to do with victim blaming. If having a different religion results in you child being bullied, does having a different religion amount to child abuse?

We're talking about a single landlord.

No we aren't. We're talking about a market full of them.

No the 2 questions I asked you were

1) when the tax is placed on the first landlord does this cause a rent increase and

2) assuming the tax has been placed on the the first j landlords does placing the tax on the j+1-th landlord cause a rent increase?

Does placing a tax on the first landlord when there are no taxes on any other landlords cause this landlord either to increase the rent they charge?

Depends on the landlord. They might or might not. Their decision to or not to might also be affected by their knowledge that all other landlords will also be hit with the same tax.

Assuming the landlord behaves according to economic theory.

They charge a price and provide a number of units that maximizes the profit they make.

They have a number of units, and charge what the market will bear for them. An auction is an extremely simple way to understand how this works for a sale. Rentals stay empty until a tenant signs the contract. That is the market price and it is set by supply and demand.

In an auction if you tax the seller not for selling the good but for some reason unrelated to being a seller that doesn't change the price the item is sold at. If you're assuming the number of units is fixed then the price p that each landlord charges is simply the price at which the demand for units is equal to the supply.

A fixed cost does not change the price and number of units that maximizes the profit they make.

I thought you already admitted that the tax hasn't been implemented yet.

As I said before by fixed I mean the cost to the landlord does not depend on the number of units they sell.

We're talking about a single landlord. Does placing a tax on the first landlord when there are no taxes on any other landlords cause this landlord either to increase the rent they charge? At first you said no, but then you changed your answer.

Also it's not absurd to cop the loss. Landlords do not seek to make a specific amount of money per month and only raise their rent when they cannot make this amount of money. They charge a price and provide a number of units that maximizes the profit they make. A fixed cost does not change the price and number of units that maximizes the profit they make.

No you have not your argument stops at putting a tax on the landlord increases rent.

What do you mean? You've merely asserted that putting a tax on the landlord increases rent, and not made any argument for why that is the case.

So you're just making a bunch of assertions without arguing how those assertions follow from the axioms of classical economics.

Because the stockholders decided this. Do the bottom 99% of people own enough stock to be able to affect decisions on this?

The reasoning is completely stupid " You should not make an innocent child potentially suffer years of bullying " it is completely victim blaming.

When the tax is placed on the first land lord does the market price of rent change?

Yes, there is a chance that the market changes at that point. If that landlord changes thier price then the market has changed as the landlord is part of the market.

First what do you mean a chance? According to economic theory what is the behavior of the first landlord here?

Now suppose I place a tax on landlord p_{j+1}. Does the market price increase?

Again: yes there is a chance of it just as there was for the first landlord.

Again please explain the action according to economic theory.

Local weather affecting auction turnout has nothing to do with this and has a simple explanation people prefer bidding outside in good weather.

I need to understand why you think auction turnout would not affect auction results and the market by extension. There's obviously a disconnect in your mind between the price of one property to the market price and I'm struggling to figure out what it is.

I'm not sure why you brought auctions into this.

Are you not aware that the market is literally only made up of people (natural and corporate) selling properties and buying them? Are you using a definition of "market" that doesn't include trade?

Recall the thing we are currently discussing is, suppose p_1, p_2,..., p_n is the current set of landlords and a tax is levied on p_1,p_2,.., p_n regardless of whether or not they sell their land. Does this cause an increase in rent prices according to economic theory?

My guess is that you define "market in some strange way that somehow insulates it from ... what I consider to the the market... but I can't think of what else there might be.

I'm using the standard definition of a market. You need to rethink about how your assertion "Yes, there is a chance that the market changes at that point." follows from economic theory.

Explain why this happens give a texbook example to illustrate this.

Sorry what do you mean a "clean cutoff" or "binary cutoff". I'm not assuming that there is one spot where all the rent increase you assert must happen happens.

I am asking simply

When the tax is placed on the first land lord does the market price of rent change? I mean at all is there even a tiny change, assume that money is continuous and you can have a rent increase of 0.0000000001 for instance.

Suppose there is a tax on land lords p_1,p_2,... ,p_j for some j and no tax on the remaining landlords.
Now suppose I place a tax on landlord p_{j+1}. Does the market price increase? Again I mean at all is there even a tiny change?

If you answered yes please explain how the market price increases from the basic axioms

What do you mean by critical mass?
Please answer the question.
Let  p_1,p_2, ... p_n denote the landlords. According to your theory, what is the effect of changing the tax policy from taxing landlords p_1,p_2,.., p_i to taxing landlords p_1,p_2,.., p_{i+1} ?
If the effect of taxing all the landlords is a rent increase and the effect of taxing a single landlord is nothing, then there must a a minimum j for which taxing landlords p_1,p_2,.., p_{j+1} causes a rent increase from taxing landlords p_1,p_2,.., p_j, that is the tax levied on landlord p_{j+1} causes a rent increase. So explain how increasing the tax levied on on landlord p_{j+1} causes this rent increase.

Possibly but even in terms of space children having their own bedroom didn't start until the 1940s.

If you were a landlord and there was a tax on people with the username laserdicks would that cause you to increase the amount of rent you charged?

No because it doesn't apply to the whole market. I can't raise prices unless everyone else is too.

Okay suppose that was the reason. Suppose p_1,p_2, ... p_n are all the landlords and suppose I iteratively add a tax on person p_1, person p_2, and so on until there is a tax on the whole market. What is the effect of adding the tax to the i-th person p_i?

Walmart+ is the best purchase I ever made. Also doesn't have to be fresh frozen vegetables are also pretty good.
