>> If the incumbents are so well protected that one of the most powerful corporations in America found the barriers to entry too burdensome, then how can anyone argue that there is any semblance of a “free market”?
Yes, that's the biggest problem and I'm tired of repeating it. If Google can't do it, then what hope do the other minnows and plebeians have? Its high time that the average lazy American should wake up and revolt against the establishment for this injustice now.
- Gustomaximus 8y agoRevolt is a stong word. People need to 1) have a general interest in many areas and 2) Hold their politicions accountable. Currently it almost feels as though corruption is becoming acceptable. I keep seeing people say: "they're all corrupt so its political to arrest them for the less serious things." This seems a sign of the system breaking. Also without trying to kick of tribalism here, I think wealth inequality drives this corrupt and short term behaviour somewhat. People start relaxing ethics as their focus turns to getting ahead. I feel if everyone is more balanced economically other things become more important for your feelings of self importance such as being judged for the person you are rather than your net worth.
