      It worked for Wal-Mart

      Which isn’t really a sustainable business model, but it’s quite successful

        It didn’t work for Walmart the same way it didn’t work for Amazon

      What is sustainable in today’s economy?

      Really, what Western corporation actually base their policies on sustainable growth?

      Take your time. I’ll wait.

        All of them that I know of. Which corporations do you see running unsustainable business models until they fold completely? Take your time, I’ll wait.

        The point is that they eventually change their tactics. In this case, they’ll have to eventually increase their prices.

          Even big companies ran gigantic losses for years, just to undercut the competition and emerge as the only winner.

          Some do it because they have other cash cows Epic store milking Fortnite), others have VC funding, like Uber.
