China 80 cents per can - fresh air

Question

I thought it was a joke until I read the article.

The producer expects to sell a hundred million the first year. That is $80,000,000 in sales. And at a very, very generous 40 cents a can to produce, market and distribute that still leaves $40,000,000 for the entrepreneur to pocket.

What is surprising is how bad the quality of the air is in China and the realization that what is in the air over China will be blow by air currents over other countries.

China currently has the worst air quality on earth because they burn as much coal as every other country on earth COMBINED. It seems their regulation free, anything goes manufacturing didn't take into account that the kids in the sweatshops needed to breath.

How they couldn't have learned this lesson after watching other countries struggle with the same issues shows their superiority alright.

As much as I despise Walmart, I don&#x27;t think that was Sam Walton&#x27;s intention to kill the local economy.  But his billionaire siblings have no problem or conscience when it comes to destroying small businesses.Also, "Made in the USA" usually means you will pay more, but you will get QUALITY in return.  But good luck finding those items in an era of corporate and shareholder greed.  And I will gladly pay double for something made here that will easily last 4X as long as something made overseas.
