# The price of high-speed rail has increased because it is losing money

Why do tobacco companies and others continue to lose so much money?

High-speed rail, as an important infrastructure under construction all over the country, can be said to have a huge investment and wide coverage. However, as the scale of construction expands, the operating costs of high-speed rail are becoming more expensive. Expenditures on vehicle maintenance, power supply, and personnel salaries have put the high-speed rail system in a predicament of continuous losses.

In order to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers, high-speed rail undergoes frequent maintenance and replacement of trains, which is a huge expense that makes the road to high-speed rail development full of bumps. Coupled with factors such as personnel salaries and ticket price control, high-speed rail losses have become almost commonplace.

# The price of natural gas has risen because it is losing money

As a clean and efficient energy source, natural gas has been favored by more and more people in recent years. However, the losses of the gas system are also not negligible. The high cost of transporting and storing natural gas, combined with employee benefits, often results in systems facing losses.

Why do tobacco companies and others continue to lose so much money?

The supply chain of natural gas is very large, including a series of links such as extraction, storage, and expansion of the natural gas pipeline network. Each of these links requires significant investment and maintenance expenses, and the increase in costs directly leads to an increase in natural gas prices.

# Gasoline has gone up in price because it is losing money

With the popularity of automobiles and the development of transportation, the demand for gasoline is increasing. But what is strange is that the gasoline market has continued to lose money. In foreign countries, the same gasoline price can make a lot of money, and we have to increase the price one after another.

The production and sales of gasoline involve raw material procurement, processing and production, transportation and distribution, and each link has huge costs. In addition, in order to ensure quality and stable supply, a lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested, which has led to the continuous loss of gasoline system.

# The price of tobacco has risen because it is losing money

Why do tobacco companies and others continue to lose so much money?

Tobacco as a special industry has always been controversial. Although some people say that the price increase is for national defense construction, the truth is that the tobacco system has been losing money for a long time. The cost behind each pack of cigarettes is only a few yuan, but the profit can be as high as dozens of times.

There are a large number of employees in the domestic tobacco industry, and their welfare packages are relatively high. Coupled with fierce competition and vicious competition, it is difficult for the tobacco system to achieve profitability and can only make up for the deficit through price increases.

# The highway is charged because it is losing money

The high-speed toll system was once complained about by Cao Dewang with a headline tweet with a government mortgage. In fact, the high-speed toll collection system has been in a loss-making state and has to make up for operating costs through tolls. The construction and maintenance of highways requires huge sums of money, and the toll fees for vehicles do not fully cover these expenditures.

Highway tolls involve the cost of manual duty, toll booth construction and maintenance, etc., and these investments cannot be directly returned from vehicle tolls. Therefore, the owner has to be charged to ensure the normal operation of the highway system.
