> It is the necessary role of government to occasionally step in and break up such companies, to forcibly reintroduce competition. That's the form of regulation that we need right now. Break these megacorporations up. What you're mentioning is both unjust and unproductive if the company grows thanks to satisfying customers. It's also a recipe for disaster: Trying to break down megacorporations usually ends up creating even bigger megacorporations. You try to do so, and what you end up with is lobby groups, even more powerful conglomerate/holdings well established somewhere they can do it with advantages over the regular Mom and Pop stores that don't have access to this level of economies of scale and so on.
