Very true. I find it hard to argue against something like generics - since they increase access and lower price.

There’s nothing wrong with genetics and nothing wrong with stores having their own brand.

We just need regulations to ensure that vertical companies are engaging in arms length transactions. If Walmart charges a company $10 per linear foot of shelf space on the third row, then they need to internally bill the generic brand division the same rate.

So the goal is … create paperwork? Walmart internally bills itself the same price … and they pay themselves the money does what exactly?
