I don’t know. Can you tell of an industry not run under government enforced rules? There has been a recent mandate to kill much of the coal industry. I think I was mandated to pay 35 grand in federal taxes last year. Who makes the biggest profit off of every gallon of gasoline you buy? Mandates are everywhere.
Bullshit. Taxes are everywhere, mandates, not as much. No one requires the US population to consume a given amount of gasoline every year. Or a given amount of beef or chicken, or lamb chops. No mandates for paper clip consumption, or, for that matter, paper consumption. The RFS mandate, on the other hand, is top-down, command economy socialist planning, and to support it is to be worse than a liberal, to support it is to be a totalitarian.
