So hear me out. If there’s a company that’s willing to invest in controlling everything, and is willing and able to handle it at a reasonable cost for the consumer, then it should be allowed. It’s not like it’s any different today anyway. You have these super corporations that own the smaller corporations that handle various industries. Take Johnson & Johnson for example. They 275 subsidiaries. Meaning that J&J get money for every new product that occurs in the subsidiaries. You don’t even know some of the things they’re involved with.

And stunning number for a company is Nestlé which has around 2000 subsidiaries. So what’s the point of anti monopoly laws anymore? They found a way, so why should they be allowed to hide who they own? The everyday Joe and Jane have already figured out that things aren’t the way they appear, so I think we’re on the cusp of a full truth era where subsidiaries are going to start being involved in monopolization. These companies skirted the truth for too long, and we as individual citizens should put focus on and shut down subsidiaries

        i am trying to determine if opinion is in fact unpopular.

          Considering it’s a thought that only i have for myself, yes. It’s unpopular. I’m not breaking any rules. I’m saying an opinion that I have about people on the internet because most people think they’re righteous, and shouldn’t be argued with. The irony is i posted this in a community that people are going to disagree with me because it makes them question their own actions, but those who agree with me are unpopular.

          Considering that you’re supposed to upvote an unpopular opinion in this community, getting downvoted means that people either agree with what I’m saying or disagree with what I’m saying. One of the responses is very overly confident and self- righteous. The other is not, and just playing by the rules. If you argue with me, you prove my point. If you don’t argue with me, you prove my point. My goal was to highlight people like you who take as a way to get called out. Should probably re-evaluate your response to people

            You got that right. Unfortunately, it appears to be projection.
