      No. Snake oil salesmen are not to blame for people craving snake oil. They’re merely filling the demand gap

              No I’m literally saying the opposite. You cannot manufacture demand

                  If we can manufacture demand, then supply-side economics is the way to go, full stop. Youre a big fan of Reagan, I take it?

                    That is not the implication of the ability to make others want things. Also, I clearly stated that the fault lies with both the producer of materials and the consumer.
