| Big Business control This is what happens when you let big Business have control over important infrastructure or commodities. Do you get more efficient delivery? Nope. Improved customer service? Not! Lower prices from economies of scale? Not a chance!
What do you get? THE SHAFT. They sit there and think up ways to rip you off and take your money because they have the power to do so.
This is why you need indepedent citizen oversight or regulatory authority to punish them for abuses or infractions.... The problem is these days, the people charged with oversight are usually in partnerships with the Monopolies.
