It’s really hard not to be cynical.
Like when I realized that I could drive 10 minutes to a local oat farm and buy 15 kg of oats for $2.50 (the commodity price of oats) Or, I could drive to the market and pay almost 100x more for oats in the form of cute little Os.
Yes, I know - I’m leaving out many, many, many important details, but still - that’s quite a ‘value chain’.
- Double_a_92 8y agoThe bullshit jobs are propably the cause of that value chain factor. Is the packaged oat really worth 100x more to the consumer? Maybe it's worth 10x more. That means 90% of the work used to make those was bullshit.
