it's nothing shocking..it's just the natural order of things in the world of CAPITILISIM
the Distributor becomes bigger and more wealthier than the Manufacturer...
simply because the Distributor has access to the markets and controls the retail price of the goods
it's kinda fukked up...that the guy who just happens to "move" the shyt like a mule becomes a larger factor in the process than the muthaphuka who Created the shyt ..
its like the "Tail wagging the dog"
but it happens all the time in business
look at the music game...Black artists and black imprints like QC..DEATH ROW...NO LIMIT..BAD BOY..SLIP N SLIDE..RAP A LOT all MANUFACTURED GREAT PRODUCT..
but it was the 3 WHITE/JEW DISTRIBUTORS (WARNER..SONY..UNIVERSAL) whom always EAT THE BIGGER PIECE OF THE PIE ....
and continue to as of this day...
thats why LOGISTICS will always be a profitiable industry...
the science of moving product from A to B is a valueable service....
