Profit survey

[asterroc]

1) What do you think is the most profitable industry or organization? By this, I mean if you counted the profits they made and divided by the money they spent, who do you think gives the biggest number?

2) What do you think is the most profitable physical product? You can't say "information," but you could say "textbooks." Music on iTunes doesn't count, but physical music CDs do.

Who knows (or cares) what the right answers are, I am just curious as to people's reasons. And whether anyone will answer me at all. :-P

Hm. I'm under the impression that many sex workers, including in the porn industry are taken advantage of, much like sweatshop labor. I wonder if it'd be as profitable if the sex workers formed unions... :-P

wasn't there a movie about that?

don't know if the flick is any good - just remember there being a large number of signs promoting a showing at Swarthmore a few years back.

Huh. I wonder if the SEIU approved of the movie. :)
