I should have specified that U.S. politicians and the

Supreme Court loves monopolies.

The U.S. consumer has little, to no say about what

happens in this country.

The Supreme Court said that consumers have plenty

of choice.

They are so corrupt and out of touch with reality it is

mind boggling.
