Real monopolies can only exist where there is government force or collusion.

Your post #57 provides excellent examples of why government is the problem. But as every conservative understands, government is always the problem. Unfortunately, too many think that industry is the problem. The American food industry has done a stellar job of providing a bounty of food to us that is unheard of in human history. At the same time, they have been able to significantly reduce the cost of providing food, as a percentage of income, to the American family. They do this in the face of staggering government regulation, and for all their efforts, they earn the scorn of scientific illiterates, anti-capitalists and tin foil crackpots everywhere.

FR is, unfortunately, not spared from them.

“Real monopolies can only exist where there is government force or collusion.”

Are you implying you don’t think there is collusion between these companies and the federal govt?
