The economy of a dust particle.

If I'm gonna ask you - would you trade 10 billion dollars with me, with me giving you 1 particle of dust in return? No? How about a spoonful of dust? Still no?

Then you really don't know how important this single particle of dust is to our daily lives, our civilization...and even our existence. In fact, 10 billion dollars is a bargain!

Think 'bou it. It is because of this particle of dust, there will be someone who want to avoid it - for psychological reason, and for physiological too. This creates a industry of cleaners, which in turns create jobs for the container cans, advertising agency, TV and print media ads, scientists, school and college teachers, transportation and logistics, convenience stores and grocery stores...

Not only that. It then create gov't agencies to monitor the "quality" of our air - the lesser the dust, the better the quality. This means jobs w/i the gov't agency, and again, scientists, college professors, equipment to monitor the dust, vehicles to transport the equipments, etc.

In addition, more companies to create air purifiers, vacuums, more tv and print media ads, then agencies to test the effectiveness of the purifiers and vacuums, then scientists/professors again, and also engineers to make those machines. Vehicles, container boxes, logistics, etc. Health agencies from various dept to make sure that dust is kept to minimal for whatever reasons, such as restaurants, construction sites, hospitals, schools, etc.

That single particle of dust - you can barely see it, but it worths way more than gold or platinum! Now, do u still wanna trade with me?

BTW, I was gonna use fly (insects) as an example, because the restaurant at my work is full of flies. I then started thinking 'bou what this fly can affect of lives and money...a fly is smaller, but a dust particle is even smaller! The effect is the same, however. U get the point?
