I don't know. I believe in the free market and a government with minimal power over economic activity (among other things). This is not compatible with government and "private" companies conspiring to short-circuit market forces.

Others believe that government should have the power to control buying, selling, production, resource access, wages, prices, and almost every other aspect of economic activity down to what kind of toilets are in the bathrooms. Then these same people are endlessly astounded that the result is even more abuses of the system.

As P. J. O'Rourke said, "when buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators."

I've been pretty clear about this over the years.
