FAUXTON posted:yeah if they can't ban them outright they basically make sellers show them their supplier contracts as a "counterfeit investigation," then amazon goes to those suppliers and uses scale to get the same thing exclusively and at a lower unit price and undercuts the sellers as well as getting the manufacturer to cut the sellers off are there any existing laws against the practice? I imagine even a moderately successful company would have trouble trying to get recompense in court against Amazon tho.

Theoretically/arguably it's an anticompetitive violation of the sherman antitrust act of 1890, an interlocking directorate abuse under the clayton antitrust act of 1914, and idk probably a bunch of underlying anticompetitive/abusive poo poo under the FTC's purview. Theoretically, though, since the FTC is the primary regulating authority for that kind of poo poo and uhhh yeah they're not doing a drat thing because "well they do it to lower prices for retail buyers" and "jeffy B promises no touchy the marketplacey, pinky swear" poo poo

Thump! posted:naw it was some dumb old guy hobbling through the parking lot to the Canada Tire Crappy Tire is a national treasure Canadian Tire is really the most store imaginable, they sell basically everything since they generally serve remote rural locations where being able to buy tires, oil, kid's toys, hunting gear, housewares, and so on in one place is a huge boon, and everything is cheap without being Walmart cheap; Canadian Tire is a store that embodies the idea of 'good enough' It's Canada as gently caress Wheeee has issued a correction as of 19:46 on Dec 23, 2020 |

I remember the constant braying from Europeans about how racist America was online back in the early aughts and then they decided to start electing nazis again because a few brown people moved in and Britain blew up all their trade agreements because they can't handle their handymen being Polish.

One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words 'Socialism' and 'Communism' draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, 'Nature Cure' quack, pacifist, and feminist in England. gonna assume half of these are euphemisms for gays

Yeah, the Americas haven't had a human population for nearly as long as the other continents have. Or did you think native Americans evolved independently?
