facebook should not be allowed to pay ISPs etc to block minds or gab
Yes because a business with a single office can resist apple for example in a FME
No they cant
they will be given a offer they cant refuse
So in your view it is a reasonable scenario that one business would just take over everything but it is not reasonable to expect people to take some initiative and set up their own businesses?
Or they will be hostile tookover at the earliest oppertunity
People will set up their over businesses
But they will be taken over by the huge mega corps
Not all of them
you can set up your own business... but a major corp should not be able to stop them from doing business... the free market should decide
Because competition is bad for them
if a big corp goes out of its way to stop a small business startup... how is that a free market?
It isn't, it's economic regulation with extra steps
They have fairly gained that influence by doing well in the Free Market
Its just someone else doing it
why shouldn't facebook be allowed to pay them to not do that
They haven't been given the power like the State was they have earn't it by successfully navigating the free market, And that influence can be taken away at any point by the consumer if they stopped using their products
So once you have fairly gained your influence it's ok to ensure no-one else can do it to challenge you
Good one
They are more beheld to the people then the State is
the customers should decide which businesses grow and fail... not monopolies using unfair practices so customers never get to see the competition
In the State we get one vote every few years
You do realise what a monopoly is lizard?
If a corp monopolises water
Yes
For example
People will find other sources
"lol just stop buying it"
doesnt work
They will be combatted
you would be preventing them from using their money to buy the services of another private actor wacka
You are saying "Yeah but it will be fine"
you have no arguements
No Company would ever be able to take control of all water sources ever
other than faith
It just wouldn't happen
Remember standard oil?
thats what we're trying to tell you lizard 😛 .. with a monopoly ... there are no other sources.. and any that appear.. quickly disappear
Oil isn't needed for life
Water is
People can stop using oil
