So it doesn’t sell and people buy a different product from one of these same companies.
They control the market, they control the regulations, they control the price its sold at.
The exceptions are statistically insignificant.
The corporation bends to the consumer. Always.
Who cares if it's the same company? It's the product that consumers want.
Corporations don't control the market. Buyers control the market.
Corporations try to get more control, but they still have to provide a product the consumer wants, at a price the consumer is willing to pay.
Or they go out of business.
Put the price too high? No sale.
Are you going to buy Dog-Poop Coffee(tm)?
Or go online to coffeebeancorral.com to find something better, at a price you are willing to pay? And maybe learn to roast your own green beans.
