    monopolies that resulted in lower prices

    IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT DAYO~

    When you own the market, you either:

    • Dictate the price as the sole provider
    • Are forced to set the price because of your natural monopoly status (as a utility for example; until you stuff the utilities commission or regulatory capture your way into even controlling that)
    • Have to break up to create competition, release patents, or otherwise be forced to allow competition which leads to a lower cost alternative

    I hate the gipper. Fucking cunt, and he can’t fucking act either.
