Hmm... products and services still cost the same but now there are less people in the chain to make a profit.
Sounds like a win-win for me.
If there are less people In the chain, shouldn't everything cost less?
That's what they're saying. Wholesale price is the same, retail should go down due to less people in the chain.

Yes, things should cost less for customers because businesses are making less profit.
