So much for the american "free market"... What a joke. As a european, i can't even comprehend how ludicruous it sounds that a business can't sell it's goods directly. It's so outrageously wrong, that I can't find words that fit adequately.

I agree, it sounds ludicrous. But there are plenty of ludicrous instances in the EU where free trade gets banned by some stupid law legalizing a monopoly. As much as I'd like it to be, the EU is hardly perfect in this.

  What makes it ludicrous is how much noise US politicians on the right make about "free market" and how they vilify "socialism" then turn around and pass legislation that implements massive market-distortions. It's basically massive demagoguery and corruption.

    So true. If conservative talking points would concatenate the String s = "except when it favors the 1%," they'd reflect reality. "Free market regulation is bad for the economy " + s "Government services are handouts and immoral " + s etc. etc.
