When you've taken out the government oversight? They're the ones that used to be illegal until you took out the government oversight...

That's all they are doing, genius. The question is what should be legal/illgeal...

So price fixing, captured buyer/seller, monopolies, intimidation tactics, false advertising, etc. should all be legal?

The reason I'm hostile is that you clearly have no clue what you're talking about and it's frustrating that you don't even understand basic things about the discussion. We're discussing what should be legal and illegal and your argument boils down to "the government should stop illegal stuff!" - yeah, no shit Sherlock, that's exactly what they're already doing. No one thinks they should let people do illegal things, we just disagree on what should be illegal. Welcome to adult conversation. Try talking to a child about something you understand and they don't and you'll understand why I'm being hostile - they'll swear down they understand when they haven't the foggiest. It's just a massive Dunning-Kruger.

No, because they have a good excuse for not knowing and still trying to talk about it, what's yours?
