If you can't figure this one out, you're still not thinking correctly. I'll give you a chance to figure it out on your own before giving the answer.

Who benefits from L.A.'s ban on new fast food restaurants? Anybody who *ALREADY* owns a fast food restaurant benefits! It's like they have a government-endorsed oligopoly!

It probably isn't possible to trace the trail of lobbying money. If it were possible to trace the lobbying money, I'm practically certain that the loudest supporters of the ban are people who already own a fast food restaurant in south L.A.

That's the golden rule of understanding stupid government regulations. If you ask "who benefits", then the true purpose of the law is clear.
