It’s all well and good in theory but when you have a hit item to sell, you don’t want to make scalpers rich doing it. Absolute freedom = shit show every time. Peolle really need to grow up and learn how to be conservatives without being literalist absolutists about every damn thing.

    you don’t want to make scalpers rich doing it

    But why not? Surely people have the freedom to spend their money on legal goods?

    I understand the situation; Tesla can't make money selling to the general public at scalper rates, and scalpers are somewhat eating into Tesla profits. It's all a scheme to ensure money goes to corporations first. That's why the pharmaceutical industry is so fucked.

    Way to argue against a point no one made.

    Arbitrage subtracts value from both vendor and buyer while producing no value. It’s a rent-seeking behavior applied to retail. It sucks, period. As you can see, Tesla wants none of it, and buyers don’t want a bunch of assholes boosting prices.

    And there are perfectly legal ways to stop it, too. Have you ever been to a concert where the.l name of the ticket buyer has to match the name of the attendee’s ID? Tom Waits did that on the Mule Variations tour and it’s a) the only reason I was able to see him and b) the only reason I was able to see him for $40.

    Fuck scalpers.
