Your analysis makes no sense. What do you know about these companies and their strategies? What do you know about marketing? You are trying to equate economics issues to marketing strategy. (4P's - did you ever hear of them?) Though economics is a consideration when it comes to understanding price elasticity I don't see how your analogy from economics to marketing any particular company makes any sense. Furthermore, you are giving "examples" from microeconomic situations for individual companies rather than a macroeconomic view. Supply side economics, or trickle-down economics, does not work because you cannot determine exactly how consumers will spend or not spend their monies. Supply-side economics is nothing more than a strategy of putting more money back into the hands of the rich and an excuse to circumvent a graduated income-tax system.
