Ironic that Ford initially had to fight a 'car mafia' that he didn't want to pay their fee on every car he sold. Ford was trying to make sure workers were able to afford his cars for cheap and he couldn't do that if he had to pay the extra money.

He just went ahead and started selling his cars and fought them in court and won. Now his company is using the courts in order to stifle competition that wants to sell cheaper cars to the workers.
