И снова к бесплатным завтракам и бесчестным таксистам - http://e-mir.dreamwidth.org/2209036.html?thread=13052428#cmt13052428

Может я чего-то недопонял, но, на мой взгляд, дискуссия велась вокруг темы: "Применимы ли механизмы стихийного регулирования спроса и предложения в условиях какого-либо бедствия". Вряд ли кто-либо вправе ожидать от окружающих сплошного альтруизма в общей ситуации.

Я считал, что обсуждается этот случай: http://top.rbc.ru/special/24/01/2011/532846.shtml
Там взвинтили цены как раз для тех, кто пытался уехать с места теракта.

На четвертый день сороковом комментарии Зоркий Глаз стороны выяснили, о чем они спорят.

Ah, since it was act of terrorism - these people are not merely going to work but "escaping".

Oh well, what if subway just is on strike? Will there be a real difference enough to change your view ? I guess no.

Вряд ли я смогу Вам что-либо доказать.
Вот говорят, что в Нью-Йорке после теракта таксисты работали бесплатно. Я не знаю, правда это или нет, просто мне такая жизненная позиция ближе.

Can you just answer, what if subway is on stike? Is such situation considered to be a "catastrophical" one, too?

Nice ;) but for any practical purpose it's exactly the same situation.

And, [livejournal.com profile] e_mir rightly noticed that we speak about subway breakage incident, not airport's one.

To discuss such topic is quite pointless. It looks much like "is Newton's gravity applicable when plane crashed into WTC" or "is Archimede's law applicable when Titanic drowns without having enough lifeboats onboard".

Let's say "no, they aren't, we must just ignore them because people are suffering". Why, excellent idea.

But in reality, on Titanic we personally could be as altruistic as we wish yet Archimede's rule continues to work and is neither "fair" nor "unfair". Laws of the Nature are not about justice.

Хороший пример. Одни на Титанике старались спасти женщин и детей (даже ценой собственной жизни). Другие же вспомнили о том, что "Laws of the Nature are not about justice".

You got it absolutely wrong. Laws of the Nature are not about justice, and not about what we shall do.

Just to remember, most of 57 millionaires on Titanic died . There were Astor, Guggenheim, Straus with his wife, Widener and son, who deliberately refused to escape. They were wealthiest people in the world - e.g. Astor could buy two hundreds of titanics for himself.

Regardless of this, what you do say is rather like - "why, let cancel Archimede's for it is unfair". Would be nice if we could.

Поведение таксиста, увозящего человека с места теракта не регулируется известными мне законами физики.
Так что, аналогия некорректна.

Yet with subway being suspended you must spend something, either your time or your money. That's what is being regulated by uncancellable law of Nature.

And if all drivers in good will are going to take usual price from everyone - yet you will pay _both_ your time and your money. In most cases I would like to have an option to pay _just_ money.
