        You know that others will resupply if you buy this thing. If you didn’t knew until now that people resupply what you buy, now you know. Making you definitely are responsible from now on.

        Imagine I throw candy at the floor an this kid always picks it up. Then I throw candy at the train tracks and the kid gets ran over. Am I not responsible for the kids actions?

            I used “know” in the colloquial sense. Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?

              since the future hasn’t happened yet, no claim about it can, in the present moment, be true. so you can’t know it.

                I did not use the word “know” in the question “Do you think it’s unjustified to believe that they will resupply your demand?”. Notably, I asked if it is unjustified to believe so.

                  if you will admit that it is impossible to know this, we can follow whatever tangent you like
