BRILLIANT!

For the rest: beware of economic arguments ("scarcity" is an economic 
concept). Economics is a pseudo-science. Economists failed to predict the 
present crisis, and fail to solve it. Economists favour free markets, but 
anyone who tried to travel by train in the UK knows what "free markets" can 
entail (for Germans: the present S-Bahn disaster in Berlin is the same! And 
that is just because of the prospect of a potential future IPO!) The 
proposal has been made to skip the Economics Nobel Prize for a couple of 
years, acknowledging the dreadful failure of economic science lately (it is 
a fake Nobel Prize anyway) - but there arrogant economists continue like 
nothing happened.

Amelia, tell the "Sveriges Riksbank" who grants the "Nobel" Prize in 
Economic Sciences to STOP!!!!!! You can tell them in Swedish.
