Yes it can, they've been making billions in profits every year for years. Unless they are morons and frittered away the profits, they absolutely can run at a moderate loss for years.
Because you think the board should take the profits and be billionaires.
I clearly understand economics better than you, because Loblaws could easily survive years running at a loss given the BILLIONs in profits they currently make annually, and the billions their owners are worth.
You asserted Loblaws would go under from 1 bad year.
That's absolutely idiotic, Loblaws could have several bad years and have enough money in the war chest to weather that. Reletivity does not matter when they literally have billions to sustain themselves.
You're inability to grasp BILLIONS is astounding. You act like it's a million dollars.
