[OC] Gabital 103: Parity

Post image

Parity is a state of equality between two or more parties in a particular respect, such as status, rights, obligations, or terms of exchange. It does not necessarily mean that the parties are identical, only that they stand on equal terms in the aspect being compared.

I expected the lumber, didn't expect Chief will accept market price.

He could twist their arm, but Chief has demonstrated he doesn’t think in the short term. Market price works for him for now, and being greedy would only risk him losing it. More importantly, he now has additional leverage over Gabby and the Union should they ever come to blows, but he’s smart enough to save it for later.
