First there's not just one supplier in the world because if there was and you said you weren't going to buy from them anymore you would go out of business.
I did not say there was one supplier so I don’t know what you’re on about here. But if there were and that happened—that is, if that supplier made the foolish decision to sell to the one store and lose our business, which none would ever do, when we went out of business we’d all still be millionaires, so there’s that.
I called up ALL the suppliers of the products we sold, which is all the ones there were at the time. ALL of them chose not to sell to that store.
If I was a sole proprietor I wouldn't be trying to compete with Walmart.
Whoever, then. Super chair mart, if you prefer. But whoever it is, they’ve got a relationship with every supplier of raw materials out there (at least the ones that sell in the U.S.), and there’s a reason for that.
So if they can't purchase all the raw materials in the world and all the suppliers in the world which they can't
Sure they can—not all the supply, but they can and do purchase from all the suppliers. Again, there’s a reason for that. Maybe you could travel to Malaysia and trek into the jungle a few weeks and find some loggers willing to cut trees for you, and then you could buy your own sawmill and purchase your own cargo ship…but how many startups have the few hundred million dollars it would take to establish an entire supply line?
they just use the law as in government to form their Monopoly that's my point they can't have a monopoly unless they use the government.
And my point is that your point is false. I gave you a real world example from my own experience how it’s done.
If that's the case you're not losing money. Walmart is.
They will be my customer. I'm not discounting to the point where I'm making a profit.
You miss the point. They will habituate customers to coming into their store for the chairs (they start with quite an advantage on that score as an established business) and when that’s near-total, they’ll stop buying chairs from you, having, meanwhile, found a supplier that’s nearly as good but who sells to them wholesale. Reverse engineering, unless you can patent your chairs, which takes a long while. In the meantime, they can take the loss. You can’t take the loss of your customer base.
Keep in mind at this point it’s academic—them cutting off your supplies and flooding you with lawsuits has already shut you down.
Involving the civil courts is involving the government. If I'm a sole proprietor they can't poach my employees.
So, do you think we should not have civil courts? Because unless you do, your point has no force.
Also, I think you mean sole employee. A sole proprietor can have other employees.
No it's corporatism using courts too bleed someone dry is an artifact of government. And you don't have to shut down all civil courts in order to stop predatory lawsuits.
Not the other stuff—shutting off your supply, pulling your customer base away, poaching your employees. As for stopping predatory lawsuits, feel free to explain how. Super chair mart’s $1500-an-hour attorneys will assure the courts there’s nothing predatory about the suits they’ve filed, and will present slick arguments from left field you’ve never thought of to prove the point. It’s called the liar’s advantage.
Much of this only happens because of government interference.
Government did not interfere when I cut off that couple’s supply.
