All capitalism is crony. The left created that moniker as a pejorative term for capitalism, but the fact remains, all capitalism is crony in this country or it dies. There is a station 15 miles from my rural location that sells ETOh free gas, but it is expensive. If demand were greatererhaps it would get cheaper. I do sympathize with your misfortunes. ETOH mixed with petroleum is the least of our worries. A Marxist Muslim sits in the white hut.
All capitalism is NOT crony capitalism. Only a communist would say that.
In the most microscopic way, you’re right, ethanol polluting our gasoline is not the largest problem we face. But the attitude of those who support it is. It is little different than the crony capitalist kenyan anti-christ in the White House.
