Some posters here talk about free market as if it is literally free. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Thing is, there is no free market. Even the US markets, supposedly the freest in the world, are regulated. There are policies, rules and regulations that must be followed. The term free market/ laissez faire is an abstract, a utopian invention. Even players in the securities market regulate themselves.

Survival of the fittest? Baloney. It applies only to animals, beings which do not have the rational ability to think the way humans do. Animals don't codify their rules, write it in stone and impose it on the rest of the populace. Humans have evolved to a better plane. That's why there is the Securities Regulations Code, the Corporation Code, the Revised Penal Code and Civil Code, and numerous other laws which corporations have to follow. The day chimpanzees and orangutans commit price gouging and profiteering will mark the end of the world.

Anyway, I've had enough of this. Karma na lang siguro ang aabutin ng mga oil companies na yan.
