[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1570663, member: 9096"] When you have a group of companies in a sector that price fix, diminish quality, etc that's when you open the door to competition. That's how Kia and Hyundai have made some major inroads, and I could see it coming someday with trucks.. base model trucks at $50K and up has gotta be an open door! In the fast food industry it's not going to happen so easily, McDonalds and all the chains, Fritolay, Pepsi, Coke, etc all have very tight quality control.. Sure McDonalds morons will screw up your order but they'll usually make it right without a fuss (unlike car companies). Have you EVER had a can of Coke that wasn't right? (I've never had a can of Pepsi that was) In the beef industry, well, it's a bit of hit and miss, I think quality control is getting better, but the retail prices are getting stupid, and with the exception of 2015, the producers certainly weren't raking it in, but the customer is ending up paying a heck of a lot for the product.. Part of that is there's a whole lot of middle men with their fingers in the pot between the producer and the consumer.. that doesn't happen with Coca cola (from Coke to retail store, to customer) JMJ, yeah, i bungled half the math, but actually around here the $40K per cow is still low.. Ranch across the river from us handles about 80 head, you would be hard pressed to buy it for 4 million (CAD) which is 50K per cow [/QUOTE]
