So based on your posting history -- and no, I'm not going to go find specific examples -- you think that in the absence of regulation dictating otherwise, businesses will tend toward behavior that will generally be good for the economy. And that government regulation can be driven more by ideology than economic theory, and therefore will tend to be bad for the economy.
Any problems so far?
So, you're saying that the fuel shortages were entirely due to the regulation? And it's a coincidence that gas companies just so happened to be booking record profits at the same time? And this is completely unlike the artificial power shortages in California?
Just trying to understand your position.
