When a business is that big, we are hurt if they merge, we are hurt if they don't merge, we are hurt if they are state run or privately owned.
There is a point where a business gets so huge that free market principles just don't work any more because we are so dependent on them.
We have no choice other than radical change of lifestyle and not enough are willing or able to do that.

Just like the turn of the century when JD Rockefeller controlled 90% of the oil in the US. Railroads even paid him rebates to haul his oil.

Oil companies do not dictate the price of oil, State run oil "companies" hold 80% of the world's production.

Yes, I do agree. I would like to see more competition, not less.
