If they ever actually stopped to wonder they might realize what’s actually going on. Until then, they will continue to spend and meddle and tell us how much we need them to save us from the mess they’re making.

Found this interesting blurb in AOL business. Interesting.

Standard Oil (1870 - 1911) was the dominant oil company in the world until it was felled by the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890. In 1911, the Supreme Court ruled that Standard Oil had violated the Act through its tactics of using low prices to wipe out competitors. The result was a breakup of the company into what is now Chevron, Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips.
