7/ No, because there is a distinction. If I sell a tractor for
$X and parts for$Y, then I create price discrimination where a less wealthy person can buy the tractor but repair his own parts / ad hoc, and the other guy can buy factory parts >>>https://twitter.com/SumErgoMonstro/status/1337799526694985736 …Show this thread -
