    During boom times everybody in the food chain takes a cut , once things level off then the top squeezes the middle who then squeezes the bottom. You will find regulations for scrapping are being done so the top end can weed out the middle/casual guys and keep their cut. Heck someday the local cities will make laws so that all scrap metals MUST be turned in to get recycled at the local city scrap shop so they can keep the profits, would stop those idiots who take manhole covers and utility lines from making a buck atleast.
    It's almost like we are going through a period of time where everything is being concentrated in the hands of a few. Like medieval Britain, where land was concentrated in ever fewer hands until you had wealthy lords who owned the lands, and poor peasants who worked it. The difference in the US is that it's corporations that are concentrating the smaller businesses into larger businesses, and making us all employees. It's only when the average American owns the majority of businesses in the form of small businesses, that we concentrate power with the common people. I really believe this.
