Absolutely. But if we had the above and bringing the product to market would not generate as much revenue and income as using the capital in another endevour, we would redirect our capital and efforts toward that.
Why? Greed.
i.e. Six kids sitting at the dinner table and the last kid doesn't get any mashed potatoes because 3 of the the 6 other kids really loaded their plates up and forgot about the 6th kid being part of the family too.
I think greed involves some intentional type of stealing from others. How about $10 / 10 lb. bag of ice versus one selling $3 / 10 lb. bag of ice ($3/ bag is more than double the average price)after a major storm? That's greed, dude!! The same is done in all sectors of the global economy, oil and gas futures included. Maybe simply, just one of the dark sides of liberty and capitalism, but eventually people learn to make their own ice.
