Are you telling me to do something or are you just adding to the general conversation of this thread?
Regarding the restrictive power of oligopolies and govt laws, how does any entrepreneur build a new refinery in the US, even an oligopolic oil company which has “obscene” profits, because money is sitting in their “bank account” that could and should be used to build more refineries?
The government is the problem, first, last and in the meantime.
oh FGS - “obscene” profits ??? money that “could and should” ??? then you say “gov’t is the problem” ?
You need to go look in the mirror and ask yourself - am I in favor of a free market or do I just parrot Dim talking points ?
Why would anyone even try to build a new refinery in this country - oil company or entrepreneur - when the permit and environmental impact studies, regulatory restrictions and moonbat envirowhackos will take you decades of time and oceans of money long before the first bulldozer hits the site. And that’s long before you get to make a fairly measly 9% profit on your investment...
only to have that small profit called obscene by ignoramuses in economics and math.
See yourself in that mirror yet ?
