What happened to free market economy? How are americans totally fine with a company being denied its ability to sell its product to its end users?
What happened was: The car makers used their position of power over the dealerships - power they had as a result of the free market economy, more or less - to screw them over. The dealers fought back with custom legislation.
It's been this way for 70+ years now. The "free market economy," then as now, turns out to be its own worst enemy.
