It's all predicated on having competition, which of course companies hate. Once a company becomes both a monopoly and "too big to fail" it isn't really a company anymore, but functionally a piece of government run by unelected profiteers. If elected officials did their jobs and maintained something resembling a free market everything would be so much better.

Absent government help, people need to take matters in their own hands. Build unions and co-ops. Customer unions, patient unions, homeowners unions - not just employer unions. Band together and buy reduced price/better termed insurance. Ultimately, shareholders must take a few years of losses - that's just business.
- redserk 2y agoI'm confused at the "free market" implication here. What resembles the free market has been deciding "Florida isn't worth it" and companies have been pulling out in response. I'll concede in that a few bad regulations have accelerated this trend but these regulations, even if repealed, can't change the fact that tropical weather is becoming more severe. After all, there are many other states that have a lot lower likelihood of town/city-level destruction in a year.
