What is the main topic being discussed and what is the author's perspective on it? Also, what evidence does the author provide to support their argument?
Actually it's the laws of economics that are being discussed. If you really think that "business insiders" control everything what makes you think that merchants will pass cost saving on to consumers if a third shipper enters the market? As for Matson's "record profits" you really need to check the EDGAR fillings rather than post nonsense.
