Horizontal demand curve is where demand decreases the instant that you increase the price. The person in this case is not willing to spend any amount of money to acquire the good. Examples of this are jewelry, high end alcohol, and high end cars.  Your example is a bit flawed. A demand curve is for...

In this interview Wozniak says that Jobs never coded. His only contribution to Apple computer was case design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3OcY37GOAA  ...

Can you not say the same thing about a horizontal demand curve?  That demand would be the same regardless of price?

When it came to the graduate level, the students were glorified processors. Absorb information and then regurgitate it at precise times.

Too much supply causes sudden death and no more demand...

They have done no such thing. There are plenty of elderly teachers in Miami Dade schools. They have even allowed them to collect their pewnsions and contribute more to 403b's.  They are rather desperate for teachers in Florida, which is 49th in what it pays teachers. You cannot expect right wingers...

In my conservative town, I had several male teachers who were retired.  They were some of the best teachers I ever had.  Strong, disciplinarians who commanded respect from students, structure in the classroom and a high degree of competence in the subjects taught.   The vast majority of my teachers,...
