This is like cheating in a golf match against a professional and then saying "I got the same score as my opponent, I am not the villain here".
I don't think it is, so maybe you can help me draw the parallels.
Especially since it’s advantageous to adjust suppliers that you own to maintain tiny margins (who owns the land they rent, for example)
Do you think large dollar stores are faking or cheating their profit margin numbers?
