supply and demand is a theory about price discovery. it has no bearing on this discussion.
If no one ate fish anymore, would it still be profitable to fish in an industrial style?
I don't think that's likely to happen. do you have another method that might be effective?
You're claiming my choice has no impact, but it does because of supply and demand. It's very small, but it's still there.
this is just handwaiving. supply and demand isn't a magic phrase that makes your actions have the desired effect.
That's why I'm sharing the solution:
Don't contribute to the problem.
If we don't eat fish there would be close to no nets in the oceans.
that hasn't worked so far.
Yeah because there's too many people who are too stubborn to give it up.
regardless of the excuses you want to make for your plan's ineffectiveness, I'm trying to find an effective solution
Maybe you can get people to stop eating fish, so fishermen lose their job of destroying the sea.
that doesn't sound like a workable plan. good luck with it though.
I'm working on it.
Just a bit ago I posted it on Lemmy for people to have a thought about.
honestly, if you need x number of people, let me know when you are at x-1
