EPTI highly doubt that she would do anything against her father, and it's not like she doesn't want to have Joffrey controlled, but that she is afraid of him. But never say never

Hear me roar bitch. In front of the court i can see Tywin follow along with Joffrey so long as he doesnt get to crazy. Disrespecting the king in public would weaken the Lannister position. But hes not going to take anything in private. | ||

Ofc hes not going to spank him no. But i dont see him telling Joffrey "no" in front of the court either because it weakens the position of the king. And god knows its weak enough as it is. | ||

As long as the war is going, and with winter coming, the Tyrells have the upper hand. The Lannisters need the Tyrell resources, and there is no one really who they could buy food from if the Tyrells refuse. So all their riches don't help them into a strong position over the Tyrells, so that is why Ollena could argue so boldly with Tywin. In a hypothetical peaceful situation though the Lannisters (and the crown) would be much better off economically, if they can choose who to buy from (Reach, Riverlands, Stormlands, North). Right now they are very much depending on Tyrell resources though. Dorne (although mostly a desert) or anywhere in Essos. | ||

You can trade gold for anything even food surprisingly. Like I said, Tywin is king practically because he is protector of the realm. So lets see the argument again. Food rises in value during winter. Gold bought him a kingdom. Gold in this case payed off and when winter is over the Tyrells will be nothing compared to the Lannisters. | ||

Hodor wouldn't run into the wilderness with some random chick to play daddy while surrounded by zombies and cutthroats. Even when Hodor speaks it sounds smarter than Sam. We don't actually know what Hodor is thinking to confirm he is an imbecile which I can't say for Sam. edit: Also pretty sure Hodor can light a fire gg Yeah, saving a young woman and her child of being raped and possibly killed? The nerve! | ||

Surely they have investments in banks and other industrial industries. They also have solid and productive farm land, I dont know how well, but ive never heard anyone disparage it. So you have a family that controls the gold and has everyone in debt to them, from royal families to merchants, with large and productive land holdings. Somehow magically the Tyrells are richer? That's so dumb. You can trade gold for anything even food surprisingly. Like I said, Tywin is king practically because he is protector of the realm. So lets see the argument again.

Tywin had the riverlands burned and the rest of the regions are not near as plentiful. They could ship their food from overseas but that would be very expensive. And yes the demand for food will only be so high for the winter but winter can last for years. The trick is surviving it, which means feeding your subjects/soldiers so they don't turn on you. | ||

Without power he is just a petulant child. Joffrey is psychopathic and the only way to knock some sense in him is to endanger his life like the battle of blackwater bay. There are definitely kids out there who have no sense of respect for anyone, and Joffrey falls into that category. Unless Tywin has some alternative to 'spanking' up his sleeve, I don't think he has any more control over Joffrey than Cersei does. | ||

And most likely less then buying from the Reach, if those places recognize they can undercut the Tyrells (assuming the Tyrells try to raise prices significantly). | ||

I believe economists call this argument "guns vs butter". Anyway, history tells us that in times of economic stability, gold wins hands down. So as long as Westeros's economy is in good shape, then the Lannisters can buy their food from abroad if need be. However, in times of economic depression then food wins the fight. Why? because in a depression, money isn't worth anything and you can't buy from abroad because in major depressions (eg the one preceding and following the fall of the roman empire) the trade routes disintegrate. So the Lannisters have the upper hand but only for as long as the realm is stable. | ||
