It’s really about regulating to outlaw all competition. A few people on this planet want to own everything and everyone. They want a fascism that will allow them to institute a new slavery.
Speaking to your point about eliminating the competition, I seem to remember that Soros bought one of the coal companies - even as 0bama was working to destroy them - Arch Coal I think (but not sure).
Seems that Soros knew all along not only would American coal not be destroyed, but will be a viable concern once again.
Now, time to get rid of the competition by bankrupting them or buying them out. I wouldn’t doubt that you’re on to something here.
