Pff…. Now do the banks, cable companies, health care, etc.
28 5 ReplyIf they did the banks, you'd say Pff, now do Amazon. Let's value what we have and hope to build on it, rather than dismiss it as not enough.

Not a monopoly though?
cable companies
Agreed on this one! In theory, there are lots of cable companies.
In practice, you actually only have one cable provider that provides service in your area.
health care
Also not a monopoly in my area.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to defend any of the abusive practices of any of these industries. It's just that they're not monopolies.
