In a free market, I can’t sell bread at 100× the normal price. Competitors will undercut me, and even if I buy them out, new ones will keep entering. That cycle never ends. Predatory pricing fails because the moment I raise prices, customers leave. Cartels fail because members cheat and new entrants break in. The only reliable way to maintain a monopoly is through the state. By trading favors with politicians, I can use government power to block competitors under the guise of regulation, public safety, or national interest. In reality, those rules exist to protect cronies like me. This can only happen publicly when the government passes regulations, because regulations are the public face of cronyism. Thus contrary to what dumb socialists think, solution is to protest and ask removal of regulations not billionaires and capitalism itself.
@ENiceFilms1 @thematthew @bobsacaman000 @krassenstein A court of law isn’t a reputable source per maga. If Mr Pillow said it, you could take it to the bank.
