    I miss how i used to think Capitalism was healthy and competition from rival businesses fostered innovation - until they all teamed up against us :(

      That’s what the “deregulation” “conservatives” have been screeching about for the past few decades is all about.

      Imagine a system that incentivises greed and self-interest, and which runs on competition.

      Now run that simulation through your mind a few decades.

      If it doesn’t end up with vastly fewer companies competing over vastly larger portions of the market, your simulation wasn’t set up accurately.
