Notice Profit is *undefined* when the consumer is the owner of the Means of Production...
The co-owner of a dairy does not buy milk because he owns his % already.
Profit measures the consumers lack of ownership in the Means of Production, and is 'Imputed' when that Property is in the hands of the person who will use those outputs.
We must protect User Freedom by helping each person become co-owner in the "Physical Sources" of that which they need.
Any business can do this by following these rules:
* Product is the Investor's Return.
* Profit is the Payer's Investment.
* Investments are Commitments of Sources and Skills.
