You need look no further than Bell California, the poster child of how a few crooks can take over a small town and line their pockets.

You need look no further than Bell California, the poster child of how a few crooks can take over a small town and line their pockets. I don't share your pessimism about government. Bell isn't a regular occurrence, and most important, it's being dealt with in the courts. Overpriced everything in company towns, on the other hand, is baked into the design. Look no further than your average college campus, where one caterer tends to have negotiated the whole concession. Independents can't even set up if they wanted to and prices do reflect the fact. On my campus we can't even order pizza for a seminar, except through Sodexo. And there's nothing you can do.
