A Parallel Market That Grew and Gained Strength Unchecked

Very interesting article. A few thoughts:
1 - Huiachicol is sacrosanct as it is richly energy dense and allows for all the conveniences people take for granted in modern life. No huiachicol, no civilization. Battery/green bullshit will never be viable simply because it comes NOWHERE near the energy density found in a gallon of gasoline.
2 - I understand why regulations are needed--up to a certain point--as huiachicol is flammable/dangerous, but where can a balance be achieved in this regard? Any time any government gets involved in "regulation," costs go up--along with taxes. I admit, I laughed heartily when the subject of tax revenue was broached. Governments everywhere can do with less "tax revenue" because it never betters society--it always ends up in the pockets of corrupt politicians, disgusting bankster gangsters, and the former two's grifter cronies.
3 - This subject is fascinating because a salient point is made--this black (but free) parallel market is choking out the overregulated "formal market" and who can blame people for opting towards the truly free market option? It goes back to taxes--do taxes really benefit the people who work; i.e., the people that enable "society" to exist? Despite the dangers, it's proof that a truly "free market" trumps any "formal (government regulated) market." I sort of wish something like this was an option in The States.
