    So long as the capital markets were willing to continue funding loss-making future monopolists, your neighbors were going to make the choice to shop “the wrong way.” As small, local businesses lost those customers, the costs they had to charge to make up the difference would go up, making it harder and harder for you to afford to shop “the right way.”

    Food for your thought.

        Are you purposefully missing the point? If the greater market is uninformed and buying inferior offering; soon that is all that will be available.

            it’s not an excuse to go “over the law” just because you think the law is bad… but still, just because you don’t agree with the existing law, it doesn’t mean you should “work” around it.

            Then what’s a good reason to go around the law? It’d be pointless to go around a law you do agree with.
