Uh -- what?

How do you transport and sell the things you manufacture? Do auto manufacturers sell their cars at roadside stands right outside their plants?

transportation marketing shipping do not add much value to the product for the customer. They create little wealth just transfer. If a country could becomes prosperous retail, importing and marketing products all made overseas then every third world country would be wealthy.

Actually my list is wrong actually. My list was supposed to be things that CREATE wealth. Marketing, transportation, warehousing and retailing do not create wealth at all, only transfer it. These are "middlemen" processes that are actually adding to cost of the product. A necessary but expensive detriment.

Don’t be silly. Transport drivers and retailers don’t create wealth. They all should get jobs at plants making stuff that can’t be transported or sold.
