this absolutely wouldn't happen if there were no regulations - a libertarian

[–] Decompose 1 points 1 year ago

A libertarian has two answers:

The government's supposed job is to crush monopolies, and they didn't, the government only used the monopoly to expand their surveillance powers
The government through its huge government spending forces central banks to lower the interest rates, which leads to huge companies getting an unfair advantage by getting cheap loans, in which they can have an unfair advantage since small, competing businesses can't get these loans, inflating monopolies' powers.

So, your government didn't really help. It only made the situation worse. Take your propagandized ignorance and get out of here.
