Exclamation Performance Parts Rumor: PRICE FIXING


By TheWatcher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From what I hear there is a certain USA performance parts manufacturer that is trying to price fix the market on their performance parts.

I heard this certain company has also allegedly gone as far as setting up secret purchases under assumed names to track down the lead supplier.

Stay tuned... Story developing...

Price fixing will always be happening, whether we like it or not. We should find a way to stop it.

Unless you are willing to accept government intrusion into big business there will always be good ol' boy clubs that do deals behind the scenes that are not tot he benefit of the consumer.

You have to remember that the number one obligation a for-profit corporation has is to make its shareholders money. This is not always going to lead to the best treatment of its customer base, nor is it going to lead to environmental responsiblity, or even honesty in some cases.

A more socialistic approach to big business might not be such a bad idea in the long run...of course all business owners would protest this move because in the ned it would cut thier profits. But in this world there are other things that need to be addressed rather than increasing the bank accoutns of those who already have more money than they can ever spend.

It's complicated with the socialism move. But if we, as consumers, have only to gain from it, then let's do it. But only controlled, and only temporary.
