Who thought this was a secret? they lead OPEC for crying out loud.

The bombings will continue until moral improves.

what law are they accusing them of breaking then?

I don’t see them saying anything about it.

It means they don’t think they can prove a law was broken.

It doesn’t even say but I assume this is a civil suit? you can sue for any reason you can think of in civil court. It doesn’t mean you are correct. If this is a criminal suit then you have to tell the court what law was broken.

What laws have they violated, and why haven’t the plaintiffs referenced it?

Hiring marketing consultants to help you figure out how best to sell your product is perfectly legal. This lawsuit isn’t even claiming a violation of any laws.

That’s even pushing it. there’s the common understanding of collusion, which this could maybe fall under, but doesn’t matter legally. And then there’s the legal definition of collusion which they aren’t being accused of. The article doesn’t say what law they are violating, or even if the suit is claiming they are.

Besides being a stupid business model, what is illegal about hiring a consultant to advise you how to run your business? There can’t be a law saying all landlords MUST lease out all their properties is there?

I guess if you think using Glassdoor to look up salary rates in your area is collusion as well.

It’s a more efficient use of time, I get that, but you are still operating month to month, on vacancies, and year to year on contracts. The end result each month is going to remain the same.

because it’s not colluding, it’s market research.

it’s publicly advertised information, why would it be?

Using a program to compare prices isn’t “colluding”

I’ve been out of it the industry for over 10 years, but we always just looked at online rental ads to set our prices. I don’t see how comparing prices to the average and/or your competitors is a “cartel” or “collusion”.

It’s a federal emission standard though, not a state one. It’s only illegal to do in New Jersey, Maryland and Maine. Every other state once you own it, you can install these devices, or do a EGR delete entirely if you want to. In states that do emission testing on private vehicles you’d want it to be reversible of course.

Oh yeah, Russians love pushing coal. You know all those Russians that Putin has had killed over the years, poisoning, shot out of the sky, stuff like that? It wasn’t because of political reasons, they were his ex lovers.

That’s pushing coal.
