The local bakery closes down. They say its cheaper to bake the bread the other side of the mountain and ship it to the local store. It looks cheaper because the bakery does not have to pay for the shipping costs, but the reality is that the over all cost of the provision of bread to the local community becomes more expensive. Just no one knows because the only politically sensitive cost is the production cost, not the shipping cost. At least the locals dont have to walk over the mountain to get their bread ... yet.
I am not talking about bread.
