I know you've said imported goods have the most value now that the currency is hyper-inflated. If you could pick one thing to import from any other country to sell for the most profit possible, what would you pick? What is valued the most when society starts to fall apart?

Well, I was going to ask if he would agree with the sentiment that the Egyptian government is actively blocking research which may reveal links between the pyramids and other (non-Egyptian) cultures. However, not only has no one's questions been answered, but if he agrees at all with Hawass I'm guessing we wouldn't hear much of interest on this topic anyway.

The main reason is because of marketing. Marketing is extremely expensive and is also very sensitive to geography. Things that work in North America do not work at all in other parts of the world. You can't just plop a Tim's down in the UK without preparing an entire marketing model and the time, effort and cost to do that would be massive.
