and then there are folks like you, who thinks that if the gov't stays hands off, the market will magically work perfectly. no monopolies, no duolpolies, no abuse of power, etc. fuck the consumer. as long as corporations are allowed free and unrestrained growth potential. go free market! we're #1! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I'm all the free market system as long as there is an actual free market. Since this doesn't exist when it comes to TV or internet I don't see how government intervention is messing around with the "free market".
