GREEN LOGIGUIN
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who naturally weighs the pros and cons, ins and outs, ups and downs, goods and bads of everything. Family and friends wonder how you manage to keep your life on such an even keel. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time wandering around the downtown area wanting to buy either a green fountain pen or a handcrafted bird house. Be on the lookout for infected paper cuts. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter T, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 757265. Your preferred shopping venue is strip malls. Your special symbol is the equal sign (=).
Is this You?
As a Green Logiguin, you seek a balance in life and your market activities. You are logical and reasonable, always seeking to weigh costs and benefits, pros and cons, ups and downs, ins and outs, goods and bads. You are the embodiment of yin and yang. You know that there are two sides to every story and every market exchange. Sometimes you buy. Sometimes you sell. You search out the best deals, with the highest quality and lowest price.
This isn't me! What am I?

PERFECTLY INELASTIC An elasticity alternative in which changes in one variable (usually price) do NOT cause any changes in another variable (usually quantity). Quantity is totally, completely unresponsive to price. Quantity just does not change, regardless of changes in price. This characterization of elasticity is most important for the price elasticity of demand and the price elasticity of supply. Perfectly inelastic is one of five elasticity alternatives. The other four are perfectly elastic, relatively elastic, relatively inelastic, and unit elastic.

Laying The Groundrules On REGULATIONOur journey has brought us to the "Rs," which means, among other things, that my feet are trifle bit sore. Fortunately, we've also found ourselves at the front door of the Good Time Pharmacy. (Isn't coincidence wonderful?) My quick shopping trip for a pair of cushioned insoles, analgesic rub, and an ankle wrap is lengthened, however, by crossing paths with the normally quiet Stella von Steincamp. Stella, the pharmacist and proprietor of the Good Time Pharmacy, has taken the opportunity of our meeting to voice a rather vehement complaint over a new Shady Valley city government pharmaceutical regulation mandating the use of disposable rubber gloves when preparing and dispensing medicine. She is livid! Her primary complaint (among several) is that the cost of this regulation will send her pharmacy onto a short path into bankruptcy. In the interest of maintaining pharmaceutical services for the residents of Shady Valley, I think, would should explore this topic of government regulation.
