Why would you expect a company that pays for buffers to be able to compete with a company that doesn't, even if the first company is owned by benevolent founders? Shouldn't the company that's cut inventory to a minimum be able to charge less than the competition, and drive the high-inventory competition out of business? I understand that not having inventory might create long-term problems, but how is the high-inventory company supposed to compete during the good times?
