Then, as recently happened to Tupperware when the cost of raw materials went up, Walasaurous stops buying cold and you're in a world of hurt.

Ah, elimination of the irrelevant middleman. Streamlining the process. Good for you, good for me, good for Wal-Mart, good for the country's productivity and GNP. Maybe bad for said middleman in the short term, but he'll find another job.
Why should Joe Consumer have to pay to subsidize an irrelevant, unnecessary position?
