What business objectives????? I own your competitor, I no longer need you. So instead of raising your price and making it unaffordable here, I'll lower your price force you to lose money..... then when that won't work pull you off my shelves and thus force you to raise your price everywhere else.

Then I come in with my little piss ant company (that competitor I bought) and say "put me on your shelves."

The fact is when they were pulled off Wal*Mart shelves they still sold..... until Wal*Mart sent in Sterilite at prices that were unreasonably low.

They manipulated the market.

They took a company that paid decent wages and destroyed it. plain and simple.
