Catman and Dogwoman meet for the first time in the city. They never get to rest because of the things they need to do as super heroes
Saving 1 person Locking up 1 bad guyCat manlocking up 1/2 a bad guysaving 2 peopleDog womanlocking up 4 bad guys saving 1/4 of a person
Trying to save people and lock up bad guys is hard work.
It is but if we work together and have a division of labor then it it can become easy.
Dog Woman comes up with a plan to take the work load off of them. Catman has never heard of something like this before so he is confused
How will we be able to do that?
Well how many bad guys are you able to lock up per day and how many people can you save per day?
I can save 30 people per day or I can lock up 15 bad guys per day.
I can save 10 people per day or I can lock up 40 bad guys per day.
I get it. Since I have a lower opportunity cost in saving people I should specialize in saving people, and since you have a lower opportunity cost in locking up bad guys you should specialize in locking up bad guys.
This means I have the absolute advantage in locking up bad guys and you have the absolute advantage in saving people.
Catman finally understands what Dogwoman is trying to do and agrees with the plan.
Catman is better at saving people and Dogwoman is better at locking ups bad guys.
Oh no a dragon.
A Dragon comes out of no where. He is trying to burn the city down.
That's right by doing this we would have comparative advantage
You lock up the dragon an I will save the people
Let's kick some dragon booty
Catman is going to save everyone while Dogwoman beats up the dragon to save that city.
