The real reason we cannot have nice things and have to settle with crap.

Plain water...

is expensive because is meant to create the impression that it has value, and it does, better than soda or cola or other chemo crap.

All chemical things are cheap because:

it's cheap to produce them (you change them chemically and you don't need another protection on the production line)

it's cheap to store them (with all the chemicals you don't have to put your money in controlled temperature)

It's cheap to stay on the shelf forever (with all the chemicals it doesn't spoil easily)



The natural ones are expensive to process and to remain natural, they have a short shelf life, so you produce a little to get rid of them fast, so the processing costs you more, they must be kept for big time money at controlled temperatures, and sold urgently from the shelf before they spoil, so you have low stock.

Everything that is cheap is chemical, everything that is chemical is cheap, and cancer eats you up!

And smart people...

The problem in our world is that stupid people are sure of what they know (very little and stupid) and intelligent people doubt everything they know (a lot and good knowledge), so the stupids says that they does (whatever the task is) and asks for money that they are sure on what they know and can, if they make a disaster (it is often the case), than they simply disappear and that's it, another fool take its place.

The intelligent thinks 100 times, meanwhile the fool takes their place, and the intelligent has to settle for something cheaper to live on something.
