You've got US$250 to spend -- which do you choose?
Spend the $US250.00 on a weapon - any weapon ( which by definition is a commodity) and you can have any amount of butter you want, eat it or waste it, then go and get some more. You still have your capital invested in your commodity (gun / weapon) and are getting interest on it ( that consummable )

Originally posted by skeeterNo no no. You buy that much butter, and you make enough pancakes to go with it. You sell the pancakes with butter. People are fed and happy, and you have a lot more money. And then, as Nordlys said, you use the proceeds to buy something else. That many pancakes should support a job training program, at least briefly. Or it should at least get one started! 🙂
