It sounds like you are advocating for a merit-based system.
- jocaal 5mo agoCompetition doesn't have to be merit based. My view on competition rules is that it should prevent winners, period. If there is a company so good that they can effectively monopolize a market based on merit alone, they should still be punished. How is that advocating for merit?
- Eddy_Viscosity2 5mo agoMonopolies form for other reasons than 'because they are so good', and without exception, monopolies go on to produce less-good products over time while simultaneously preventing better products from entering the market. So in practice, rules against monopoly are fully consistent with merit-based ideals.
