[Q]

These companies can charge more for their goods.  Atlasian car companies are struggling to compete as it is.

[Q]

Here's a hypothetical:
I am a house painter.  I am either forced to buy a compact car to transport my painting supplies and ladders, or I must pay thousands of extra dollars to the government in order to buy a product that suits my needs.  Is that fair?

[Q]
