We had capitalism when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s, and guess what? This shit wasn’t allowed. I’ve commented before, companies didn’t even try to pull this bullshit because there was 0% chance of getting past the FTC.
For the 100th time, this is not capitalism. This is oligarchy (maybe plutocracy? either way). Adam Smith loathed the idea of monopolies and said they were poison.
Y’all sound like Boomers pointing to the Soviet Union as evidence socialism doesn’t work because it devolved into oligarchy. And then you reply, “But that wasn’t socialism!” NOW do you get me?
