Simple fact is your Pizza market is an almost unregulated free market. The barriers to entry are almost non existent. Anyone can start up a Pizza parlor.

On the other hand, almost NO one, can build a new refinery or start up a new Oil Co. You have to buy an existing one or shell out so much money to start up one it is economically unfeasible. Thus Oil is an example of a over regulated market. There are so many local, state and Federal hoops to jump thru NO one could start up one.

But I am sure being so convinced that you have a clever analogy you will simply tune out reality to cling to your opinion.

Oh by the way, the clever little gimmick you see of "Discount if pay cash for gas" simply means the owner is over charging you the difference. If you take it, you simply get the price he would charge you any way while people who don't are simply paying a service fee for the Owner excepting their plastic.

Except for the Mafia, which controls the Mozzarella cheese market, and, thus controls most of the retail pizza bakers.

"On the other hand, almost NO one, can build a new refinery or start up a new Oil Co. You have to buy an existing one or shell out so much money to start up one it is economically unfeasible."

Yet men of steel have done just that. Now rightly rewarded, the Bolsheviks have come for Anastasia.

"Now all we need on this thread is someone coming in and claiming it's all a big conspiracy, and it'll be exactly like all the deep-thinking political discussions my elders had in the '70s."
