Hi Gary. Why do you keep shifting nym? Trying to pretend that there
are a lot of you? If you just posted under your own name all the time,
like the on-topic people, you might get taken seriously.
In any case, and just in case any actual readership were fooled, let's
make this really clear... mass production economics mean that *all*
production loses money during the earlier part of the production cycle,
and does not become positive until a later part. The key to
economically viable production is *when* it becomes profitable. Only
the truly naive, like yourself above, believe that it can be profitable
at any arbitrary point.
