- danielmarkbruce 11mo agoThere was no logic, it was a premise.... Maybe understand the basics of english sentence construction.
- croes 11mo agoAnd now do the same for the meaning of the word monopoly
- danielmarkbruce 11mo agoLook up "newspaper joint operating agreements" and the "Newspaper Preservation Act". They were literally government sanctioned monopoly/duopoly structures from a business perspective to save newspapers from going to 1 paper towns. Ie, the government stepped in to help what was a process towards natural monopolies all over the country. The seattle times, the denver post were effectively monopolies via JOAs, and the san diego union tribune was a monopoly in its day (without a JOA). There are endless small city / large town examples. You are clueless about newspapers in their heyday. It was like 60 years ago. No need to go around correcting people on a topic you know nothing about.
