The Supremes effect

[vettecat]

Saw an article in a printer's newsletter today about a Supreme Court decision that will affect us in a positive way. Apparently they've overturned an old antitrust law, with the result that manufacturers can now enforce, rather than merely suggest, retail prices. (I imagine that osewalrus has been following this already.) That's good for us because it should reduce the number of people undercutting our prices and stealing away customers we've worked with. But I wonder how it's going to affect discount chains and such. This should be interesting...

Sorry I think you are in the minority here in thinking this is good news. And I have a bridge to sell you if you don't think the big players are getting kickbacks from manufacturers and figuring out ways to screw the little guys like you behind your back.

I don't think we sell for anyone large enough to have that kind of influence.
