Perfect example of trying to win at capitalism:
The monopoly is the checkmate of capitalism, where greed through no competitive pricing can be exploited.
Anti trust laws (name left over from the 1920's and 30's when trusts became the monopolies) aim to prevent that resulting in oligopolies of today. AT&T is now one of several cell phone and cable companies . . broken up and then disrupted by technology.
Sorry not sorry you got sued and busted.. Technology and disruptors look to exploit these mostly regional monopolies by being more creative or round up a gaggle of lawyers for a class action suit. The buyers agent agreement is the NAR trying to maintain employment for their members. .
end of business/economics 100
not sure how this settlement will all end up at the end. . . my posts have all been from trying to interpret the potential implementation/execution of the current agreement. Beyond that, no idea, though its a mentally fun exercise in long term strategy
