Seriously, this actually plays well in the electorate for MacGowan. There is an election early next year and an announcement to reduce gas prices plays well with the average voter. The voters don’t care about business or its shareholders making stacks of money at the taxpayers expense. And don’t even consider whether the average voter thinks long term, they don’t. Study political science and psephology and you understand the motives of MacGowan.

And Governments meddling in business, they do it all the time. Do I agree with them meddling? No, but it is a fact of life and doing business.
