But it will. Because it's also a sad fact of business, that if a product
line is not selling well, the business will stop selling that product
and go on to something that is profitable. If a grocery store carries
artichokes, but all of them sit on the shelf and rot, they will
discontinue carrying artichokes and purchase something that does sell
in that neighborhood. If no one purchases their ferrets that store will
STOP carrying that unprofitable item. It's a merely a business decision.
