  What will this industry look like in 10 years? How about 30? Will other business try to move in when they discover how profitable this industry can be? Will all the capitalists follow the same rules?

  They are entire Caribbean islands that no longer have sand beaches because they were trucked away illegally by concrete companies.

    Better than 100 years ago when that’s how everyone got their ice

    There are entire Caribbean islands that no longer have sand beaches because they were trucked away illegally by concrete companies.

    There’s a slight difference in scale between bougie Arabic cocktail ice, and the most widely used building material in the world.

    Not saying it’s reasonable, just not exactly dystopian.

      Am I crazy or is none of what you said in anyway an answer/rebuttal to what I said? Maybe I didn’t word my post correctly, maybe you were just being glib. I’m going to bed.

  The fact that they’re calling it “sustainable” when Greenland’s glaciers won’t last another 50 years.
