Big multi-billion $ businesses can only exist in a society where a big government can enable them using bailouts, quid pro quo campaigning and cost-prohibitive compliance for frivolous regulation.
From a societal POV, big anything is bad. I wish more open-minded people could recognize that fact.
- karamazov 15y agoThat's not true at all; many (probably most) huge companies have never received bailouts. Compliance is also a tricky issue - you don't want to let the market compete on nuclear power plant design without some sort of supervision, even if the current system doesn't work very well. Lobbyists are a different story, but Google, for example, or Amazon, got to where they are without leaning on governmental support or anti-competitive laws.
