supply and demand.

that's a theory about price discovery that actually has no predictive value. it is not a magic phrase that traverses space-time

Okay so you are responsible for the next dead cow that the company has to produce now to replace the one you bought.

Your action led to a dead cow in the future.

Does that work?

the company has to produce now to replace the one you bought.

no, they don't. they could choose not to do that. I am not responsible for their choices.

no, that's not causal. but even if it were, it doesn't make me responsible for the killing of the plants or animals in the past.
