      The profit on torches is the rebuy for more. You don’t need to sink a lot in material, it just has to burn bright enough to sell.

          In this throwaway, instant satisfaction society? It’s all about the price point. And the marketing.

        Exactly, the guillotine is a durable/capital good. Yeah, you make more on one, but how many are you going to sell relative to torches and pitchforks?

          My guillotines have DRM, non user serviceable parts and a mandatory service contract - cough - I mean you get free IoT and smartphone integration.
