Yeetle Box - In The Red

Who would have thought that a "Communist" country would understand the free market more than a "Democratic" country. Well, it goes like this....

The first smoke-free restaurant chain in Beijing is at risk of going out of business because nicotine-addicted customers have stopped eating there. Business at Meizhou Dongpo has dropped 20 percent since it banned smoking in October, but "we figure that if we're going to die, at least we're going to die honorably," said Guo Xiadong, the restaurant's deputy director.

There you have it: the free market and how it's supposed to work. It is, and always has been, the economy, stupid!
