  1. "We don't allow you to sell it because of scalpers" Then buy it back from the customer yourselves, it's still on warranty period. Oh, wait, we're not in an era where compnay owners lived through Great Depression and people burning down their offices and factories... yet.

  2.  @mrfattypancakes  here's the fun part. You can't offshore customers, subsidies, yourself. Russian billionaires right now spend whole fortunes to try and get back to german, american and israeli hospitals incognito because none of them cared about russian healthcare. Likewise none of the foreign engineers I knew about in China planned to start a family there. Work for some time and earn money - yes, raise kids - hard nope. Every billionaire has property in Dubai, but none of them even stay there, not to mention live there. Let's just say that I have a bit of "Spidey sense" moment that whispers into my ear that they don't want to spend their lives there? They want to be rich in EU, US, Australia, Japan and so on. You can quote Caesar about rather being first guy in some barbaric village then number two in Rome, but here's the thing, they're painfully aware that each dictatorship is lined up to number 50 on inheritance line at least and money doesn't give you power among robber barons, a pistol to your skull does. US stands on a cliff, asking itself the same question - what if they'll leave if we raise taxes/cut subsidies/don't grant bailout? The answer already was seen during WWII taxation levels. They will start to run. Let them and burn the bridges behind them.
