    They want to pay less than three times the cost of a chicken egg, even though geese only lay during the spring and only lay every other day.

    That’s not how markets work though…

      If they wanted to go buy a commercial goose egg that’s how it works. Geese eggs are rare. They take a lot of investment in time to produce. If you can’t recoup the costs then you can’t sell as selling requires time and time is money if you believe that labor should be compensated.

        there are ways other than capitalism to support people who do stuff, but im guessing most of these people wouldn’t support you in those ways either, and it’s just a hierarchy issue.
