      You have to legislate that they can’t pass the expense on to consumers, or they’ll just pass the expense on to consumers. And that’s where it hits a wall, because all of the conservatives go fucking ballistic when you start talking about the government mandating how a business should run, despite the fact that they’re perfectly okay with all of the anti-competitive laws that the big business got passed to keep them in absolute control over everything.
