St. Maarten Private Eye

comparing the cost of a packet of pasta at the store to pasta meal at a nice restaurant. Common here let's be realistic, i have no interests in any restaurant business on this island, but i know that you have to pay a chef (a chef not a cook) to make that pasta meal, pay the rent for that nice ocean view that goes so well with that barilla pasta meal, pay the waiter that brings the wine, the eletricity bill that provide light and a little A/C, the gas bill, the loan that was taken out to provide the nice atmosphere and the kitchen equipment used to cook the barilla.

Don't be so simplistic, it's never that simple.
