Are we in a "free market" or we not? The answer is "depends on what lobbyists want."

Lol without all the subsidies gas would be $12/gallon. And burning fossil fuels (40% is automotive) kills more than 250,000 Americans per year. Whats the cost of a human life brah?

Yes, that's the point. These politicians interfere and meddle and cry "free market" when it is convenient for them.
