We had a plum tree when I was a kid and that just meant an incredible annual wasp harvest
Most plum trees just grow way too tall to pick.

Never had wasps. Just biblical-plague levels of fruit flies.

Free market! Free market!

No wait, not like that...

I mean, number 1 would be weapons, and likely the rest of the top 10 too. And that's before you count idiots and revolutionaries buying guns to use against the government

I think really ATP is more of a finished good, and cells largely get to keep the fruits of their labour so the Krebs cycle is essentially compatible with Marxism.

The dark secret we all must acknowledge though is that this relies on the exploited labour of the enslaved mitochondrion

I just learned about Marx and Darwin’s rather… one way relationship so now I’m imagining Marx sending a 50+ page treatment on the topic and Darwin sending back the 19th century equivalent of “i ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for you or sorry that happened” again.
