engrossing

Read a random definition: DARPA

A quick definition of engrossing:

Engrossing is when someone buys a lot of something, like food, with the plan to sell it later for a much higher price. This is not good for everyone else because it allows one or two people to control the price of things that everyone needs. In England, it used to be against the law until 1834.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Engrossing is the practice of buying large quantities of goods or merchandise with the intention of gaining a monopoly and selling them at a very high price. It was considered a misdemeanor in England until 1834.

Example: A group of wealthy merchants bought up all the wheat in a particular region, causing a shortage and driving up the price. They then sold the wheat at a much higher price, making a large profit.

Explanation: This example illustrates how engrossing works. By buying up a large amount of a particular commodity, the engrosser can control the supply and demand, allowing them to set a higher price and make a profit. However, this practice is harmful to the public, as it can lead to shortages and higher prices for essential goods.

i dont even know if my school has health insurance

id be worried if things out of state aren't covered or covered as well
12:29
I think all public schools have it, and a lot of schools will require you to either purchase it through them or prove you have equivalent coverage elsewhere
12:31
Are any of you medicaid experts

@NemoPropheta: that post sucked and complete disrespect to the deans
eggan
13:14
deans are trained to act without bias. the point that everyone forgot. if women have better uGPAs and LSATs, what, do you want men to be considered with lower test scores? isnt that just DEI ?
eggan
13:15
and its the same people complaining about DEI too lmao
13:20
Did you read the post? Its about the underrepresentation of men in ratio with their share of top LSAT scores. Men make up a great percentage of 170+ scorers than women
13:20
By a significant margin too
13:21
Also being trained to act without bias does not mean they do not act with bias. Most biases are unconscious and evolutionary in origin
13:22
@eggan: You sure you’re cut out for law school?

@NemoPropheta: no need to be rude
13:24
Just being honest, if you can’t read properly and can’t form a good argument, you may not do well in law school

eggan
13:31
this is a casual discussion chat. if you cant see that and expect people to constantly be in formal argument mode, and you cant code switch and act in a casual manner vs a formal manner at different times, maybe YOU arent cut out for law school @NemoPropheta
