That’s not the question.

The question is, if the company makes $18 profit/bottle, how can they make a loss overall?

If it costs them $20 to shift it anywhere.

Profit isn’t good enough, it has to be increased profit so what companies do is both screw the public and employees.
Cut costs, reduce quality and quantity, whinge if they are held accountable to be environmentally responsible.
Not all but enough

Enshittification. Cheaper supplies, decreased sizes, premium price.
