It comes down to those at the top of the food chain treating those below them with disrespect,knowing someone will sell out and provide them with what they need,even if it is an inferior product.It is happening in all aspects of life,music being one of the worst offenders.They want all the profit or most of it and will squeeze their suppliers and leave them with little or nothing.I see the same thing happening in the food industry,farmers who grow the food getting the same price or less year after year while those that sell it to the consumer keep increasing the price and fatting their bottom line. When too much power falls into too few hands, that is what will happen every time. Those with the money will squeeze out the little guy and force them out of competition,and when that happens,watch out then,thay'll jack up prices to quickly recover any previous losses.
