This is where we part understanding.

The essence of competition is to tilt the playing field in your favor.

We could argue about the reality here, but the truth is that "special legislative relief" has NOTHING to do with fair competition. Agree that ENE was an abomination, but caused primarily by govt. interference.

but the reality we know in this country is that corporate "citizens" seek and often get special legislative relief that affords them a very "un"-level advantage. And if you think the result is that the best products will then benefit the most people, you should check out some of the deals ENE had going around the world.
