I'm not using your labor factor because I think it wouldn't be accurate based on my own assumptions and responses on this thread. $40-50 an hour is what I'm basing my calculations on, possibly more per hour that people would demand to do this type of work. Labor would cost more than distribution costs, and there may be shortages of labor and inefficient labor because another assumption I'm making is that these workers wouldn't work as hard, they might even unionize. Were just getting soft here in American in my opinion, but I could be wrong, maybe Americans would work just as hard, but you would have to pay them 6-7 times more?
