Headlines

1. Complementary Demand: "Lady Gaga wears dress made of sandwiches. Bread and lunch meat prices skyrocket!"

2. Substitute Demand: "Meteor strikes Coka-cola factory. Coke productions halted. Pepsi sales increase dramatically."

3. Elastic Demand: "Prices for new iPhone triple! Only 7 sold in the past month."

4. Inelastic Demand: "Sudden rise in portable oxygen prices takes users breath away."

The full story here:


The prices for portable oxygen have been dramatically increasing and people who are reliant on them must pay for these ridiculous prices. With oxygen being a must have for every person these people don’t have a choice, they must buy the oxygen. There are no alternatives to it, and they can’t just stop using it either.  “I have had to cut back on many of my other, non-essential, items. I don’t need any of them as much as I need access to a portable oxygen supply.” says Guy McPerson, who had smoked for years before he quit and now relies on his portable oxygen to help him breath. Guy is not the only one who has had to cut back on their more luxurious items to fill their need of this necessity. We hope that soon the price for the portable oxygen tanks that these people need will go down so that they can enjoy their luxuries once again.
