one more example of too DAMN MUCH REGULATION... there is no reason there should have been a law to stop this and certainly not a need to fix it. OH wait I know they need lobbiest money in Washington, so the screw companies in order to HELP THEM. “STOP IT” stop the regulations, the taxes and spending.
