Whose lobbyists created that bizarre regulatory system? It was
lobbyists from the power brokers, that's who.
Why? so that they could use the loopholes they put into the
legislation in order to manipulate the market.

All I ever heard from the left in those days was that it was the
fault of "deregulation". It's about time everyone realizes it
was
a "regulatory system", and not a free market, that was
responsible. At least a majority of Californians knew enough to
get rid of Davis.

There is no such thing as deregulation. If you remove all the
regulation by government, the companies set up their own
regulations
that serve to benefit themselves, inhibit new entries from
competing
against the established ones, and generally shaft the consumer.

Nice job at the 'warped word' game but companies have no means to
enforce 'regulation' on each other. What you describe, if it
existed,
would be 'collusion', or a 'cartel', or some other 'cooperative
agreement', but not 'regulation'.

If you really believe that companies do not collude in fixing the
game, you are a Polyanna. Just Google up the phrase "Trade
Associations", and read how they keep their members in line with the
policise they set.

Btw, 'organized theft' is unethical whether it's perpetrated by
'business' or the 'public'.

Companies don't give a rat's ass about ethics.
