    This is the kind of person who thinks you can grow and sell a million tomatoes in one year. It’s all about “the hustle” - physics and reality be damned.

      You can grow a million tomatoes alright, what you can’t do is sell them:

      • 30% will be misshapen, so you’ll have to throw them away
      • 40% will have some blemish, arrive a day too late to the market, or just be the wrong color and no shop will buy them… but you might be lucky and sell ½ of them for katchup and similar, so that’s another 20% getting thrown away
      • 10% (⅕ of the remaining ones) will not get chosen by buyers, and go bad, so… whatever, that’s the shop’s problem now 😁!

      Congrats, you just sold 500 thousand tomatoes!
