    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?

      The markets are turning into monopolies with the current system.

          No it’s capitalism for profits and socialism for losses.

        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.

          We are consistently adding regulations not removing them.

            We’re pulling the teeth out of the important ones. Mondern tech monopolies would never have stood in the 50s.

              The free market will deal with those problems naturally.

                Why? The ‘invisible hand’? How would a more free market take down Microsoft or Google or Amazon?

                    I think they believe it, and I can’t get to sleep, so I’ll keep them occupied for a bit.

                  A completely free market would have never let these monopolies form.

                    How? What regulations caused them to form then? And how would fewer regulations on them bring them down?

            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.
