it's not the invisible hand's fault when that hand is tied behind it's back. There is no real way "untie" this hand in this case. The regulatory pseudo-markets that governments impose are often presented as "deregulation" but they aren't that. They're just a different kind of regulation. However, both companies and politicians put forward the claim that these pseudo-markets make their players "private enterprise" and so-absolved from responsibility to the public but that's a self-serving fiction.
