Nothing is more fun than creating shortages when you have a monopoly.
My platform, if elected, remains bringing baseball back to the masses. I think we levy a tax on them to recover all the infrastructure and other costs put into supporting Fenway, and then only backoff if they bridge back a sub-$5 price tag on bleachers with a sub$2 price for beer.
And we pass a state statute imposing anti-trust rules on them.
