But if Walmart were to jack up prices, a new upstart could come in and beat Walmart at their own game, forcing walmart to drop their prices again to remain competitive in that segment.

Sweet. Maybe Walmart can become the only pharmacy in town and then not sell BC or other drugs to people due to moral concerns.

And then a pharmacy that specializes in the things Walmart refuses to carry would open and be a major success.

Then Walmart wouldn't "jack up" prices after the competition is driven out of business from their loss leader practices. After the competition is driven under, they'll raise the prices on their loss leaders so that they're profitable, but within the usual Walmart razor-thin margins, so that no upstart can compete with them still. The end result is that Walmart could systematically drive out competitors with loss leaders, then raise the price to razor thin profitability, then move on to the next industry to dominate. Where does it end?
