Disclaimer: I often save memes that I disagree with; seeing something here should not be taken as evidence that I agree with it. I have been saving and categorizing tens of thousands of memes for decades. Many times I save a meme specifically because I disagree with it and in order to create new memes that counter its message.

The meme is a humorous graph comparing the cost of a "Minimum Efficient Scale" (MES) to the "Economies of Scale" (EoS) and the "Diseconomies of Scale" (DOS). The graph shows that EoS is more cost-effective than MES, but as the scale increases, the cost per unit increases, leading to "Diseconomies of Scale". The text "LRAC = Long-run Average Cost" appears at the bottom of the graph.
