While I dont like silicon valley
@Tinker Tom big dick company A, B and C individually buy a third of an industry. They form a coalition to consolidate resources. Congratulations, you now have a cartel.
In ancapistan there are no market restrictions to prevent this from happening
@Double Negative Ok, what industry
I mean, there's a lot to pick from
Aircraft? Consumer electronics? Baking supplies?
Also
>implying governments break up cartels anyways
Ok let's go with aircraft
I mean, there are anti trust laws that do exactly that
They're never enforced
^
Oh yeah, Microsoft bundling internet explorer with windows
funny how that turned out
now nobody uses the garbage they prepackage
Nipped that monopoly in the bud
@Double Negative because of competition my man
Anyways with aircraft
Let's say Cessna made one of their planes with 2 other companies
Guess what I do, as the capitalist pig I am?
Take a guess
let me guess, you stop buying
No, I take my money and get investments from other investors
And make the same plane
For 30% cheaper
then your factory gets airstriked by the coalition
The state forced microsoft to act more ethically with the settlement, it was not naturally solved
also, making planes is difficult
The no one will support them att all
@Double Negative never said it wasn't
if all the top engineers are being bought up, who will you hire?
@a lone father k Bundling IE isn't a fucking monopoly
pajeet ohindi from pooland?
@Tinker Tom it was
for a long while
were you not on the internet in the 2000's?
@Double Negative Well, if theres cartel they're probably not going to need the engineers, since you won't be making competing designs
And so cheap engineers
no, they will still be making competing designs because of people like you that want to undercut with stale designs
