I miss how i used to think Capitalism was healthy and competition from rival businesses fostered innovation - until they all teamed up against us :(

until they all teamed up against us

That’s what the “deregulation” “conservatives” have been screeching about for the past few decades is all about.
That’s basically the end game of capitalism: Plutocracy.
I thought Fascism was the end game of Capitalism.
How do you think the Plutocracy is maintained. 
I suppose they go hand-in-hand

Imagine a system that incentivises greed and self-interest, and which runs on competition.

Now run that simulation through your mind a few decades.

If it doesn’t end up with vastly fewer companies competing over vastly larger portions of the market, your simulation wasn’t set up accurately.
