When I was growing up, I thought "competition" was about better products. But looking at Google and Apple, Meta, and AI - "competition" is actually about creating monopolies through evil business practices.
Growing up with the birth of the internet - I really did think it would be a force for transferring power and authority to the people. Sigh, I was I so wrong.
Where are the companies that declare, "we will be the best, come at us!"
Where are the politicians who are supposed to represent us? Oh, right. I forgot for a moment.
