Let me guess...the govt is paying $100 a gallon for this stuff, through distributors with hasty no- bid contracts obtained by connections.
Contracts going to diverse suppliers
like De Blasio’s corrupt wife Chirlaine using some of her $900 million taxpayer funds to buy and resell for a profit
Fuel ethanol plants make an almost endless supply of 95% or 99+% alcohol. Biodiesel plants make an almost endless supply of glycerine as a byproduct. Probably cost $3 per gallon to make hand sanitizer.
