appliances...It was explained to me this. way.. A tenant says the stove is wonky. Ok the apartment mgr calls daddy tRump repair company..The ONLY company he can call. Then the repair person says the stove needs to be replaced. In goes in a POS reconditioned stove. Daddy tRump puts down that a NEW stove was installed and charge an exorbitant fee for the install and stove. This comes off of the company taxes as "expense" to run the business. The difference in price for the labor and stove goes into daddy tRumps pocket. .
A win/win for daddy tRump... Uff.. A smart business decision or a thief...

You KNOW there is a web of shell companies and back room deals.... the prices are inflated so everyone gets their place at the public feeding trough.
