@annofan-jz7dq And companies are guilty of the same crimes. Just recently Volkswagen was reprimanded for spewing more fumes into the atmosphere than they had reported; lying about their emissions. The British East India Company, not Britain, colonized India and killed millions. It was run according to a corporate structure. Monsanto and Tyson developed Agent Orange. Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers crashed the world economy.

Austin Martín Hernández Nope. Economics 101 will teach you about products with inelastic demand. When companies get the chance, they monopolize their industry, or turn into an oligarchical cartel. Case in point, AT&T, Comcast, Charter, and Time Warner have spent millions snuffing out efforts to create local, mesh-based Internet connections. They're significantly cheaper (because these companies overcharge— what competition? They just sue or bury the local ordinance in legal fees and paperwork), yet there are few of them in the U.S., despite high demand. The free market doesn't work. It's a concept— good in theory, not in practice. Let's not forget Martin Shkreli shooting insulin prices through the roof, to $800+. People can't just shop around for a substance that literally keeps them alive, especially if they're poor. The free market doesn't work.

@placeholdernameisplacehold7671 That's just semantics, and easily counterable. You know what they mean. "Small-town, rugged businesses— no gubmit!!" (at least that's the sentiment in the U.S.). Meet them on their terms, and then destroy their world.
