There is no competition,sir.You can't see this? You want to blame it on us not using less,or China using more? Guess what? No matter what,they are gunna have a some excuse to explain why there is short supply,but the main reason is because it favors them to have short supply.The obvious problem #1 is there isn't enough competition in this market.I don't know how you would ever expect a fair situation if you don't have competition.It goes against any common sense.Yea,they are making more and more profits because they don't have to cut prices to compete for your business...o.k.? This is eluding you.You have a brain block.
