  1. According to goodle, maguay is a variety of agave

  3.  @beep6583  Have you seen the junk that goes on? I.E. most of the cost of Chinese fine wine is the used bottle while cheap wine goes in the bottle and served up to rich chumps. Some even dilute the wine and industrial chemicals added to preserve flavor

  7.  @HristinaSedlackova  How fortunate for you, as no one wants to because at the moment this stuff is expensive. And the difference between an investment and subsidies is that one expects to at least get their money back eventually.

  9. Depends on skill level.

  10. The licensing agency is more concerned with collecting bribes than protecting consumers. Also, they leave out the distribution costs which is the real reason for the fat margins after it leaves the distillery. That and US companies have bureaucrats breathing down their necks to do QA

  16.  @kyleucarer4471  you seem to confuse artificial scarcity with high demand. And diamonds are rare in that you have to sift through tonnes of material just to find a pea sized gem.

  17.  @nobody6032  a google search and back of envelope math says the world produced roughly 25 tons of diamonds a year, with only 20% going into jewels and 25 billion pounds of materials mined to find them. That's rare by any standard, but there are rarer gems.

  18.  @kyleucarer4471  size matters with diamonds. Large gems are rarer, but don't press me further as I am not a geologist

  19.  @michaelzlprime  often true, but that doesn't mean there's no market for it

  20.  @ricknaughty1016  only the shiniest diamonds are used for jewelry. The hardest diamonds are used for special cutting tools

  24.  @missourimongoose8858  the Americans did that indirectly by simply trading modern goods for fur with the Indians. That's how the Indians got their rifles and learned how to make alcohol.

  28. Oh they know, they just want an excuse to wage theft their boss

  29. @anonymoususer1824  100 bucks a day is about 9 to 12 bucks an hour. Retail store wages. Not all businesses are equal. Business that is easy to learn or doesn't take a lot of money to set up never pay were per worker. In this case, there's not a lot of meat on these crawdads and they can't just raise prices as they are already more pricy than staple seafoods.

  33.  @friedtoaster4059  Ruining it by wanting money often takes the form of charging rich idiots extortionate prices for "artisanal" work.

  34.  @nancywillaert5129  it's about getting rich idiots to pay lots of money

  42.  @sebastianpeheim8851  That has nothing to do with what I just said. For instance, a machine could crush the cooked agave for a fraction the cost of keeping that horse around.

  43.  @BlameItOnMercury  this good thinks machinery and quantity are mutually incompatible. It's not like US cars manufacture isn't largely automated

  44.  @Ruben25252  that's not why they use these methods, though. You didn't see them reuse plastic bottles for shipping? You didn't see them fail to test for methanol content?

  45.  @rashakor  it increases production per worker. And a harvesting machine wouldn't be too hard either. In fact, a simple chain saw would increase profit per worker.

  46.  @Ruben25252  Exactly. He's not making premium products.

  47. @Synthetic Color Dude, surveys of wine snobs show that none of them can taste the difference between boxed wine and vintage wine (this excludes supertasters). Besides, he's making a very basic product, not a vintage one, and going off how the process of making beer was industrialized the consumer won't care as long as quality control is on point.

  48.  @Ruben25252  Factories look pretty? You ever worked one? And the topic at hand is productivity per worker, not sentimentality. And it's not like America's favorite whiskey recipe didn't originate with a random freed slave who taught Jack Daniels how to crack corn. And we're not talking expensive equipment. Even simple stuff available commercially like chainsaws, pulp grinders, and restaurant ovens would cut the amount of manhours per gallon of product, allowing these guys to earn a decent wage.

  49. I saw one report where a farm worker said the bosses "treat the vegetibles better than they treat us."
