what a whiner....a private company doing what it can to enrich itself and still offer value to the their customers....and hurry, let’s get the jack-booted government thugs to make things right...?

You aren't looking at this thing properly. When a corporation gets too big, they become the ones who are in charge of the "Jack booted thugs."

I urge you to examine the economic model that was Nazi Germany. It featured a system based on this sort of crony capitalism between huge corporations and Government.

Further proof that it is GOVERNMENT that creates and enforces monopolies. It is in the nature of a competitor to seek an advantage, even if it means lobbying for special government favors. They owe me nothing.

The government, however, is an entity that owes me every allegiance. When things like “regulatory capture” create and enforce monopolies, we have a problem.

“When a corporation gets too big, they become the ones who are in charge of the “Jack booted thugs.””

Hmm, what corporations are sending these “jack booted thugs” to kick in peoples’ doors and deprive them of their liberties?

“I urge you to examine the economic model that was Nazi Germany. It featured a system based on this sort of crony capitalism between huge corporations and Government.”

Sorry, but a company expanding market share because they are able to deliver better products and services at better prices is not fascism, or whatever cute phrase you want to substitute for fascism.
