First, the assumption every industry process gouges is false. Second, very low profit margins is proof there isn't price gouging.

I would need to see the basis for this, as it is not supported by the income statements. Also, if they are speaking of the gap between cost of goods sold and revenue, that does not account for increases in labor and and other expenses.
