Did I say that?

  Amazon was part of your reply to: > What's an example of rent-seeking caused by someone having a pile of capital much bigger than small companies, that does not happen through lobbying for regulation? It seems like you mixed the discussion of rent seeking with a separate discussion of the competitive advantage of big companies.

    More like responder willfully ignored the larger critique on competitiveness and chose to attempt to narrow the conversation to a discussion of rent-seeking, assumably because they felt they might stand a better chance at refuting the smaller claim. Sadly that didn't pan.

      Seems like you narrowed the conversation when you said: > Rent seeking and hoarding demonstrably harm others. I don't agree with the other party that libertarians hate rent seeking, though. The most obvious example of rent-seeking is, well, rent - and I've never heard a libertarian speak against landlords.
