I’m an Ivy League graduate and a crazed basketball fan. That gives me two

But I’m also a university professor. So I’m troubled by the much-heard

A fundamental principle of competition is that consumers – not regulation
– should determine what they buy and how they buy it. Consumers may benefit
from the ability to buy cars directly from manufacturers – whether they
are shopping for luxury cars or economy vehicles. The same competition
principles should apply in either case.
