Indifference curves are fun. People don't know what really makes them happy. On an indifference curve any point on the curve itself represents happiness. Yet, there are an infinite number of indifference curves above that first indifference curve that will make a person even more happy. The highest indifference curve (though unattainable) is this fictional bliss point. Where bugets come into play is that they constrain just what indifference curve that a person can be on if they spend all of there money. Obviously indifferernce curves are different for each person. :(

Indifference curves meeting budget constraints is a difficult concept for some students to follow. I don't know why because the logic behind it is pretty sound.

 

Let's say I like wine and cheese. Let's say I am indifferent to having either 5 bottles of wine and one pound of cheese or 5 pounds of cheese and one bottle of wine. Both combinations would be on the same indifference curve. And, as Grom said, there are an infinite number of indifference curves above and below this particular indifference curve.

 

But then I remember that wine and cheese cost money. Obviously I can not have an endless supply of both, so I have to make a decision as to what combination of wine and cheese will give me the most happiness. That's where the budget constraint comes in. Whatever point on the budget constraint takes me to the highest indifference curve will determine what combination of wine and cheese I will buy.

 

This is one of those econimics concepts that is better explained with graphs than words. The concept of a "bliss point" sounds good on paper but I haven't seen any examples in reality since in just about every case imaginable more is better (assuming you don't have to pay storage costs, etc.)

"Fold & Hold"

You got to know when to hold 'em... Know when to fold 'em... Know when to walk away... and know when to run :(

Hey there,

 

UPN's decision may not be as final as they wish to admit. Apparently, it became known today that the order by Paramount for all Star Trek: Enterprise sets to be torn down has been cancelled. Instead, it's been changed to a "Fold & Hold" order. Basically, this means that the sets are to remain intact...though possibly moved on the soundstage to allow it's use by other shows if needed.

 

In addition, the "PR" from the TrekUnited group having $3.1M has apparently grown recently. It's now being reported on a few mainstream news sites. UPN does what UPN is told to do...that's what happens when your bought out. Besides, the future of the show does not necessarily depend on that network given the wide variety owned by the parent company.

Well, I was hoping for a "gone for a week and look what I missed: they saved Enterprise" but I think this "fold and hold" is good enough for the time being. It means something. We just don't know what it is yet.

Wouldn't it be interesting if we're all sitting down watching 'These are the Voyages...' and they say, "The Episode will not be shown tonight, as in a breaking development, Enterprise has been renewed for another season. Please tune to _____ to continue viewing the series."

 

I think we'd all keel over and die!

I wouldn't say it's that bad of a show Smith...

No...I was saying that we'd keel over and die from shock...I LOVE Enterprise and I think this is the best season yet.

I sent about 4 letters off to various producers and head honchos. I NEVER do the letter thing, but I felt that ENT was worth it. All we can do is wait and see, but judging from the hoopla regarding these final episodes, it would seem that ENT is done with this phase of its existence, unless picked up elsewhere.
