Silmanic has a pretty much a monopoly on the formula market. Can't afford to play games with that much of the market share.

OK fair enough. I asked for your answer and you gave me one, one I'd personally approve of. I would ask though if this idea would really be viable politically. I can imagine quite some republicans would have fiercely opposed such a move and called it a radical leftist ploy. I'd say this would even be tricky to push through in my country, and we're way less averse to government interference than America is.

The second thing I'd say is that this is not a fix for the present problem and hence a bit of a hindsight idea. Doesn't mean you're wrong, just means it's not the plan folks could follow through right now. And I take it right now action is still needed.
