Then they should say that! “This might be the last chance to get Maersk
blue because we have no more Maersk blue pellets left and no plans to
create more!”

Uh, John. That *is* what Jake said. Well, he certainly didn’t say claim
anything *stronger* than that -- actually, what he said was more low key, if
anything.

That’s not how I took it. But look at the way it was explained to the
Germans via their liason (thanks to Rene’s post):

Doesn’t get more clear than that IMO.

What is even more clear is that, at the time, TLC stated ‘we have such-n-such
quantity of Maersk Blue in stock and want to do something with it. Since, at
htis time, we don’t have a contract with Maersk for anything, we’ll get rid of
our stock and that’ll be it’
But why should that negate future business dealings that may arise with Maersk?
Because TLC stated that “We’re getting rid of excess and since we don’t have a
contract, this’ll be it?” I’d say that TLC is fully within their rights as a
company to enter into contracts with any company they feel like having dealings
with. At the time, no contract with Maersk so “this is it guys, buy ‘em while
you can!” That stated, even explicitly as shown here, does not negate future
contracts with Maersk and future pieces of Maersk Blue.
No one in TLC has a crystal ball. Come on, you know better than to ask for that
kind of assurance--you don’t get that from any other company so why are you
looking for it from TLC?
Differentiate from business decisions made ‘at the time’ and hindsight.
