It's MEXICO. She owns a store. She's better off than 99% of the rest of the country.

There's a reason that Mexico is called a 3rd world country.

What an absurd ruling.

Coke has every right to refuse to sell wholesale to anyone. She had every right to comply, not sell Coke, or buy retail and resell Coke.

Because that's the gist of it, here. She had a retail contract with Coke to purchase and resell Coke at wholesale prices. Coke reserves the right to set the terms and she reseves the right to accept, or reject those terms.

Again, this ruling is absurd and a gross violation of Coke's rights.

And I find it hard to believe that you consider yourself a fan of the free market when you think this retailer was entitled to sell a particular product.

I don't think anyone in this thread thinks she was entitled to sell it, and I don't think anyone in this thread if Coca-Cola just refused to sell to her. What people have a problem with was that Coca-Cola would only sell to her on the condition that she stop selling their competition.

Post the theories. Post the facts.

Look, the only people who are trying to lie to and convince the world that capitalism is flawed are communists and lawyers. The former has an agenda and the latter needs a job.
chicago school says that a cartel must fail.

the fact that you don't recognize the flaws inherent in the system is very telling.

In this, you are arguing something other than my argument.
