No. But free and unfettered competition is.

I agree but I heard him out. There's a lot of leftist mythology that goes unquestioned and the easiest way to rebut it is to let them explain at length.

I'll listen. I listen to each of @Shawn's podcasts. But, yeah, monopolies aren't necessarily an evil construct - as long as competition is always allowed to come in and set them straight or provide an alternative. Buy truth is, most monopolies exist because of the state and the lopsided protections they are afforded by the state. There are several factors, but increasing regulations is certainly one of thd factors that helps lead to mergers within an industry.

💯 Thanks for listening.
