> Imagine if everything in your home came from just one company. Or, to be more precise, from companies that are ultimately led by one individual: a single person whose brands sell you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you fill your car with, and even the internet you’re reading this with.
That'd scare the pants off of me. That much centralized authority and monopoly power. Maybe they're a benevolent force, but sooner or later they have a heart attack or get caught in an impropriety and it's their heirs or cronies. And the concentrated wealth is more likely to be a big danger to all than a benefit.
