    There wouldn’t be barriers to new companies opening up to compete as there are now.

    The current system we use encourages monopolies through the regulations.

    Want proof? Look at the monopolies.

      There would be the monopolies with private armies and more money than God to shut down new competition. They can lower prices for years to run at a loss locally to run the newcomer out of money, or just do a hostile takeover.

        Here I am trying to explore an alternative to our current system and you’re losing your mind over it.

          I’m all for clearing roadblocks for startups and small businesses. Why can’t you do that wile still making sure markets stay markets not monopolys?

              Yeah, so make it easier for competition. And give antitrust actual teeth. There’s massive money flowing into the government and campaigns to turn it into the type of no regulations government you’re proposing. So we need to fight really hard to actually enforce those regulations so monopolys don’t form.

                  Yes regulations for smaller companies have been added. And big companies love that. Eli Lilly wants as many tests required as possible even though it costs them money, because they’re better able to afford it than their potential competition.
