Small-Scale Question Sunday for February 2, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Beer is a pretty good example that's adjacent to that. Right now, Modelo is one of the most consumed mass market lagers. If you increase the price by 25%, many people will elect to consume fundamentally similar American substitute goods (e.g. Budweiser). Supply lines and distributorships complicate this somewhat, but demand shift would certainly be expected under standard models.
