Do people not realise that not allowing monopolies benefits us? Are people that dumb on era. I'm glad I don't go there.generally speaking,.. no. people have seem to forgotten that monopolies are bad. not just in reference to ABK,.. i've seen numerous statements that companies will never do anything bad because "it wouldn't be accepted" as an argument that monopolies aren't actually a bad thing. i have a very republican colleague tell me that our government should promote monopolies to "help us fight against china".
