the argument stated that if you start competing with a multi billion company you will not be able to advertise against them because of their budget
Well the issue with that is that you can just hold onto that 51%. If needed you can even issue more stock which will mean that their stake will lose. There are plenty of ways to war off the so called Corporate Raiders who try to buy out companies this way.
It's not the 80s anymore that it is some kind of significant issue.
also i don't get what your argument with your local provider was supposed to mean.
Did it get closed down? Or did it raise their prices?
Your argumentation strikes me as incoherent anon
"bro no you will be made to sell your company straight away for 30 billion $ 😔"
They got forced out of business
All the providers in the local area here lowered their prices with "special deals" and paying off contracts
Local went out of business
Deals ended
Prices when up
A free market has never worked in human history ever
Because it cannot work
First of all the people chose to take the special deal without taking into account that it is possible to change. Secondly the company was doing pretty shit if it took a few months to get forced out of business because their offering is to hold their price on the line of barely making a profit. Thirdly if it was a cartel agreement both the people as well as the company had forgone its ability to issue a lawsuit against the other providers.
bruh
im go read plato
Wanna be intellectual - "they chose to take the special deal" yes and no. Marketing is fucking with human psychology, it is involuntarily voluntary.
The local company could not afford to run unprofitability long enough to retain it's customers against the conglomerate's "deals"
The local chose to offer lower prices and better deals at the cost of lower profit, literally altruistic I've met several of their staff.
And for a larger greedy company to force them out because they weren't happy with their market share in a relatively small part of the city is absolutely garbage
Now we both have worse deals and higher prices
Home Internet is a similar story, luckily my family negotiated with Xfinity to get 200mbps at a significantly reduced price because we are long term customers
35usd monthly as opposed to their stupid 70usd a month
Very few people go out of their way to negotiate or communicate directly with their providers for better deals
"but that's their fault muh uh"
It has to be taught, they can plead ignorance
All public utilities must be nationalized
Water, electricity, gas, internet, roads, etc
Increase top tax bracket tax to 90%
Allow IRS more power to hunt rich people who try to launder or loophole
Make loopholes illegal as a catch all, knowingly using a legal loophole must be illegal.

My family is Upper Middle Class, very comfortable life with many luxuries. By no measure are we poor.
i saw some cringe takes about my beliefs
im simply saying any platform that people use is already monopolized by the bigger companies
its simply pointless to buy ad space unless you spend thousands or even millions
so my point still stands
no competitor will pop up
as it would be too expensive to get off the ground
and youd be competing with an established brand
