Re: what cost $600 was not a toilet but a toilet seat

The toilet seat cost a lot less than that, probably around $50, but the military contractor's overhead costs had to be allocated to all products.

It's kind of like the way Intel produces chips for $25, but loses money on them if they sell for less than $140.

AMD, on the other hand, produces chips for $30, and doesn't lose money on them unless they sell for under $70.
