History

6 0

<span>The Manhattan Project refers to the joint US-UK-Canadian determination to develop the atomic bomb. It was dubbed because the US Army component of this effort was initially headquartered out of 270 Broadway in NYC. The Los Alamos National Laboratory was built in a secluded spot nestled in the Jemez Mountains to house Project Y, the team tasked with actually developing and building the bomb, headed by J. Robert Oppenheimer. It was started because Albert Einstein warned Roosevelt that Nazi scientists were already working on developing an atomic weapon. The research ultimately produced two atomic bombs, which were used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of the war in August of 1945. While there was a "race" going on between the Allies and Axis powers for the first nuclear weapon, the superior resources and better chemists (Oppenheimer and Einstein are some) allowed the Allies to secure the first atomic bomb and give us an advantage over The Soviet Union at the war's decision with regards to the testing of the atomic bomb.</span>

olasank [31]
Well, (the way I see it) when Southern Brewers was the only coffee supplier in the market. They could have prices as high as they'd liked, where else would people get good coffee. And so, Albert Coffee than comes along charging less than the leading supplier. And than Café Brites comes and marks their prices lower than the both of them. 

Southern Brewers had to lower prices in order to keep up business. People are more apt to buy low cost idems. So if they wanted to continue being a top supplier, they needed to lower prices.
