> Facepalm.
This kind of snark is really unnecessary.

If we have two companies that sell fridges and they've both agreed to not lower their prices and to not let people repair them, your solution is to not buy from company A? How does that solve anything when they're colluding with company B? That's called a duopoly - something I asked you to google. > Legal intervention should not occur unless Amazon was the only fridge seller in the world. Do you understand why this is wrong given what I've said above?
- nodamage 6y agoYou've added a number of details to this hypothetical scenario that weren't actually in the original scenario I was replying to. Let me go ahead and agree with you that if two companies have colluded to fix prices, then regardless of how big they are the government should indeed intervene.
