Do you actually think the Kochs think as far ahead as 2030 or 2040? If American business actually did, we wouldn’t have a lot of our problems. No, they’re playing a much shorter term game. Most likely, they want to keep the base riled up by holding up the specter of government mandates. Which, given the ham-fisted way our agencies regulate things, is like shooting fish in a paper cup. They’re much more interested in keeping a regulation-averse Congress than anything in 2030.
