@Lexical I dont say that it changes his "purchasing power" or that it changes the value of enel.
What I say is that he compares how much a bottle of water costs in that station and how much it costs on earth.
If the price of water changes on the station, the water price that he remembers from earth didn't change.
He compares it like this: I go to USA and compare how much bottle of water costs in USA compared to Japan.
I get n$=100 yen.
Then I move to Sudan and I use that the n$ = 100 yen, but reality turns different.
He assumes it doesn't change and the price of water stays the same because he doesn't compare it once again.
Also, no supply fluctuations? With so many pirates out there? I bet that after the large pirate suppression the prices lowered quite a bit.
You can't ignore supply costs for a simple reason.
There's a reason why a bottle of water costs 1$ in super market and in your local neighborhood small shop it costs 1.5$. that's 50% change in value just because supermarket buying in bulk lowers supply cost while small shop can't even store that many water bottles so they can't hope to buy like that.
Pirates increase the shipment cost due to cost of mercenaries protecting it. The more pirates the more mercenaries needed, the more it cost to deliver goods and it costs higher.
The problem.with this all is that author just ignores this fact.
This is what annoys us. If you still choose to ignore it you're just a troll. 🤪
