So you're saying you wouldn't make more money by having more resources to sell?
Calgarians wouldn't have more money if they used less of their expensive gas and sold that remainder to cheaper markets in Ontario?
If an orange costs you $.50 and you have two oranges with two possible buyers, you'd make the same money by selling one for a dollar and eating one or selling them both for a dollar each and eating an apple?
