Now for the important questions: Is it executable? And is it illegal?

Yes, but states could, if they so cared, craft legislation that would protect existing dealers and allow for future innovation. Imagine a law that simply stated that a vehicle manufacturer has to declare up front whether a particular brand is going to be sold through dealers or directly from the manufacturer. There could be restrictions on changing that designation, like requiring they make the dealers "whole" (compensating for loss), or given them veto power to stop the change, etc. That would allow a new manufacturer, like Tesla, to enter the market, or an existing manufacturer to start up a new brand, like GM might have otherwise done with Saturn, via direct sales, without affecting dealers of existing brands.

Speaking as someone who was IRIF'ed during a large, showy reorganization at Xerox, I beg to differ:

And that move definitely destroyed the once-proud solid engineering traditions of the Phaser printer org that Xerox acquired from Tektronix. Used to be an amazing group of innovative engineers there, and now just a burnt out husk remains.

I've wanted to ask a real linguist: is there a technical term for that construct? I know a few people here in the US Pacific NW who occasionally make use of that construct in day-to-day speech, and I'm curious about how much it has been studied. For example, does it have a well defined regional distribution?
