I understand all that but neither of us have the numbers so we're both speculating. But to me it just seems like the same kind of short sighted thinking as spending money on buying back stock shares with debt instead of investing in operations.I'll repeat myself:
It bears repeating (for the umpteenth time): your own backyard may not even be representative of the average back yard, nor as big as you think it is, especially when you're only looking at your own backyard, or you aren't even aware of just how many backyards exist or where they exist.
The viability is far more complicated than just 2,000 lbs of a specialized blend being sold out quickly, especially considering part of it's quick sale is due to collectors jumping on it partly because "limited run" (built-in "prestige" value to collectors/enthusiasts that doesn't matter to the majority of people).
I mean, it's kinda like a beer company in Antarctica saying "We have this whole different country that's our most profitable market. They produce all the raw ingredients right next door to where they process it and produce the beer and consume it in the most profitable fashion. And while the rest of the world prefers Antarctic-Lite which has slim margins, they prefer craft brews which have high margins AND they're already set up to produce them. They have a few complications and inefficiencies. So instead of correcting those, obviously let's just shut them down completely, pay to ship all the raw materials halfway across the world, only produce Antarctic-Lite, and then tell them drink our Antarctic-Lite or piss off" lol
Like, you mention different backyards... the fact that place was already "In our backyard" IS the point I'm trying to make lol
Idk, time will tell which of our speculations is right I suppose. And in whose perspective...
