The TL;DR version for retards who think they can just "shop elsewhere" and that letting businesses run wild is actually a "good thing"
-Most major corporations have parent corporations that own more than just one franchise. Starbucks and Peet's are the same company, L'Oreal and Estee Lauder own 70% of all health and beauty brands, Pepsi and Coke basically own all fast food franchises, you get the idea
-In many areas Walmart and Amazon is all there is. We shit on city people but that's the one true benefit of being in a shithole like NYC or LA is that options actually exist, even if many of those options are the same thing in disguise.
-In terms of raw power people like Jeff Bezos has more sway than the government making "at least it's not the government" one of the most retarded things that you can say.
-The black market only works if everyone is "playing fair". It's about as useful as communism is, and by that I mean it fucking isn't stop being a dumbass
Our politicians don't even like to try to hide the fact that they're bought out. They might as well have advertisements on their desks and run under The Amazon Party or some shit.
