#overdemand
The idea that there's an overdemand of "content" flies in the face of observable reality about human culture. Every cultural industry exists in a perpetual state of vast oversupply. If you're trying to explain why people make and consume slop, you're failing horribly.

California Wildfires Addressing Disinformation 7/8

⁉ CLAIM: Fire hydrants are going dry because reservoirs were intentionally emptied.

❌ FALSE: Most dry hydrants are caused by overdemand due to the many concurrent fires, which caused a pressure drop. Power outages also disabled pump stations.

The water crisis is here now and has been building since the early 1980s. Overdemand for water and man-made climate disruption are twin evils now combining with fatal consequences for humanity.

This is nothing more than a trial balloon to see how much "conditioning" it will take before the US populace will accept it. It's a similar tactic to the one they tried with Harvard - overdemand and then walk it back to a comfortable place.

I mean, public healthcare can coexist with private practitioners and networks and negotiate prices all the way down.

that's how it works in Brazil: even if you can't access trans healthcare through the free public system (due to geographic unavailability or overdemand) you can still get it cheap.

I'll be honest, not been too happy that storage has 5x'd in price cuz of overdemand and I'm sure once the market can no longer be irrational that'll jump up higher once petrochem feedstocks run dry

Like not even the '21 crypto bubble spiked storage this much

(The 'LOL, infrastructure' is genuine, by the way. Which campus has the capacity of so many lecture theatres to cover these mega classes? We already drag students in way earlier and later than they want, just because of overdemand on space. The mega modules are simply *not feasible*.)
Each uni has a consultancy in that tells them how to run a degree cheaply. They all simply say 'mega lectures' (LOL, infrastructure) & 'generic modules staff is interchangeable on'.

It's pitched as rationalising, creating a 'sustainable' portfolio. But its destroying what university actually is.
I don’t know the details but they may well targeting modules with lower registration, where a world expert gets to teach their research to a relatively small number of the keenest students. You know. Those modules that stick in the students’ minds for the rest of their lives.

This is the one thing I'll always be harsh with my peers on. It is unproductive to ignore the reality in how we contribute to overconsumption and overdemand of plastic goods.

Great summation of the problems caused by Xi's doubling down on China's overcapacity and exacerbated by Trump's unpredictable tariff plans, by Brian Setser.

Both are exporting their domestic economic imbalances (oversupply and overdemand, respectively) on a world that can absorb neither.
Opinion | Xi Is Making the World Pay for China’s Economic Blunders
Trump’s tariffs are bad enough, but Xi is fundamentally distorting world trade to dig China out of the hole its economic decisions have created.

Soo... basically a very ineffecient way to heat water... and the consumer pays the bill double up. First as high priced electricity due to overdemand and the as high priced heating for his house.

Let's also not forget that the tories bunged up the system to give impression of overdemand and Labour are no better.
And I don't know does the ghost of Enoch Powell live in the Home Office and take over the brain of whoever is Home Sec?
Of all the idiotic and irresponsible ideas this government has come up with this must take the cake.

Hearing a lot of issues in this panel that basically come down to overdemand for productivity and success (no room for failure or slowing down). and now we're supposed to "entreprenue" too... #NASEMRRA2025

Every place they build has unforeseen serious problms
Way too many unknowns & effects on each community. Warming & noise effects on humans birds, insects (bird food), farm & wild animals, fish. Migration. Extreme electric & water overdemand

Using calm intellect and logic, putting aside my bias that all Reform voters are ‘kin racists, what fundamental immigration factors might make people choose Reform:
- Lack of housing.
- Oversupply of workers drives local wages down.
- Lack of school places.
- Overdemand on NHS.
- Integration costs.

US also had similar thing but due to overdemand in some areas & not being able to equalise the grid quickly enough, just led to fail, fail, fail until the whole lot could be reset.

Either that or I’ve been fever dreaming Die Hard 4.0 again

Yes, (AI) DC overdemand. Not gonna beat around the bush here. I mean micron exited the consumer business just to fill enterprise/DC demand

and yes yes the dram cartel might be a thing but even then the demand spike was very real

THAT REALLY SUCKS... the same thing happened with the shadow plushie last yr, they sold out immediately bc of overdemand (and probably scalping!!!) and like never restocked. i hope youre able to find one T__T i can keep an eye out at my local store too

None of this changes the fact that there are people for whom these drugs are not medically indicated who are the main drivers of the overdemand. I work in clinical trials. What's happening is bad for those for whom it IS medically indicated (access) and for those for whom it ISN'T (safety profile).

I think TPCI have found the most elegant solution to the Worlds spectator pass overdemand issue.

$150 USD ($230 AUD) for all access inc. Chase Center Sunday, $120 USD ($184 AUD) for all access except Sunday for adults, using the "Pidgey" method (i.e. the early Pidgey gets the Wurmple)

No it won't as many of these jobs are public sector and skilled so will cost quite a lot to train, skill and pay if aim to meet huge overdemand. Which will mean higher taxes on other workers as the reliable revenue stream to meet it. Deliveroo drivers will just get less take home pay.

Huge blow as budget hatchback delays UK orders for 11 MONTHS due to overdemand
DRIVERS hoping to get behind the wheel of one of the year’s most-hyped retro superminis face even more of a wait. The news comes after the manufacturer confirmed that UK deliveries have been delayed further until March 2026. Sign up for The Sun newsletter Thank you! The vehicle in question is the Fiat Grande PandaCredit: Getty Customers had originally expected deliveries to begin back in April, marking an 11-month setback for the right-hand-drive launch. While the car’s mechanical sibling, the Citroën C3, arrived in UK showrooms on schedule earlier this year, this specific model has been held back due to overwhelming popularity on the continent.
