[quote user="TheAntiGates"][quote user="futuremodal"] I suppose that DM&E is the "absolute fool" in your metaphor, wherein the entry of DM&E into the PRB will end up destroying all three railroads? Such pedanticism! [/quote] (*sigh*)  It was you asking how increased competition could be deemed 'anti capitalist', and I merely accomodated you with a reply. Now you are trying to wage a war of semantics because you resent it? "Absolute fool" were the words used by the quoted source We could just as easily ues the expression 'misguided competition serves anticapitalist ends' and be just as accurate. I think what Matt Rose is (rightly) getting at, is that using Taxpayer money to cut the profit out of hauling PRB coal will do more harm than good. Clearly, his bias in rooted in his position as a competitor of DM&E, but that doen't mean he is necessarily wrong. [/quote] Man oh man, do you ever read what you've just typed before you hit the "Post" button? Since we've already established that the current PRB denizens used Taxpayer money to build their version of the PRB rail kingdom (from which they are extracting some hefty profits), why is it now harmful to do the same for The New Kid on the Block? You seem to be supporting the idiotic notion that We the Taxpayers need to supply aid (financial and legal) to prop up a rail duopoly into profitability, and if we now add new (and badly needed by consensus) competitive capacity to the Holy Kingdom via the same finacial and legal avenues, we're heading for Railroad Armeggedon. Subsidies for Monopolies - it don't get no stupider than that. So much for all that "pro-capitalist" crap.
