1. tying

   Tying, in a broad context, refers to the action of attaching, fastening, or securing something by making knots or bows. In a business context, it is a controversial practice where a seller requires a buyer to purchase a second item or service in order to obtain a desired item or service. This is also known as a "tie-in sale" and is often scrutinized for being anti-competitive.

1. Tying

   Tying is the practice of selling one product or service as a mandatory addition to the purchase of a different product or service. In legal terms, a tying sale makes the sale of one good to the de facto customer conditional on the purchase of a second distinctive good. Tying is often illegal when the products are not naturally related. It relates to freebie marketing as a common method of giving away one item to ensure a continual flow of sales of another related item. Some kinds of tying, especially by contract, have historically been regarded as anti-competitive practices. The basic idea is that consumers are harmed by being forced to buy an undesired good in order to purchase a good they actually want, and so would prefer that the goods be sold separately. The company doing this bundling may have a significantly large market share so that it may impose the tie on consumers, despite the forces of market competition. The tie may also harm other companies in the market for the tied good, or who sell only single components.

   Tying this in with a couple of things from last week or earlier in the week, I just think overall, it’s kind of sad, really, to see some stories written that obviously have an agenda to them with misinformation and anonymous-type comments, writing about warm drinks and trash cans and stuff like that. I think it's just a sad commentary and it’s gone to a pretty low level. Sunk pretty deep.
