Because people who sell wooden posts and barbed wire use pickup trucks, among other things that have gone up in price.

Sure, the concept of money is only meaningful / valuable to humans. But isn't there a conceptual difference between the "owners" of the Tomahawk factory vs. the people who are actu…

Help me understand this. There's the cost that the employees pocket, and then there's the share that the shareholders pocket, right? Doesn't "margin" represent the latter?
