> What are you trying to prove, that it wasn't profitable?
I'm trying to tell you that your chosen definition of "profitable" is utterly meaningless in a discussion of economics, but you have completely closed your mind to this idea. You don't seem to understand inflation, interest rates, opportunity cost, or the difference between accounting profit and economic profit [1]. Therefore, I can't proceed with this conversation.
I asked a question because I was unsure, and you behaved like a prime ass. You will continue to get responses like mine as long as you try to push a viewpoint as hard as you've been trying to here.
I'm sorry you feel that way. You don't come off as unsure when you answer all your own questions and call these answers "undeniably true fact." But yes, I was more argumentative than I should have been. Best of luck to you.
