Capital investments like corn sugar. Corn sugar sucks ass, but we eat it every day. OK now pay off politicians to pretend the US sugar beet farmers are the reason and slap a huge import tariff on cane. There you go. The corn processors who also screw the farmers have a nice game.

It is an evil game. Pop tastes better with cane. Corn sugar is not good. Organoleptically corn syrup is the ass of sweeteners but we eat it. Better stuff is cheaper if you dont distort the market with an idiotic tarrif.

First prize for stupidest group of people in the American business world easily goes to the RIAA with their lawsuits against grannie ladies and little girls. The whole world other than the RIAA knows that there is a price for which you maximize profits for anything, and that price is not the highest you'd ever manage to sell one copy for.

The second stupidest group of people has to be the people who make diet soft drinks and refuse to make sucralose only drinks. They've now had a perfectly good and good tasting diet sweetener sitting around for over a decade and they refuse to use it or, when they do, they add the other crap in with it so the drinks go on tasting like battery acid.
