Well, they are doubling because of unregulated greed.

He and his ilk are going to allow it, though. So, yes, he is responsible for the companies' ability to do this, but it is their own greed and belief that they are absolutely critical in our lives (thanks to decades of their lobbying and tweaking of our laws, they pretty much are) that is behind this.

I am beginning to think that we just will never regulate business enough to keep us safe from their desire to own everything. Including us.

The programming worked.
