I don't disagree per-se, but this is the sort of thing which happens when only a few businesses exist in a commodity market with high entry costs. IOW, it's not great, but it is predictable. See: Oil.

Looking forward to the "Organization of Processor-Etching Corporations".

It's usually not only illegal, but also a crime.

Anyway, that's the kind of market that governments always need to act upon and either supply directly or regulate intensively.

It's not just predictable, it's illegal. Of course, if you have an executive that actually cares about enforcing the law.
