This is a disturbing pattern. Oligopolies reduce competition, employment, and oversight.

Feel free, my friend, to open your own chemical plant to make competitive products.
You won’t be able to do it.
THAT is the problem, and it stems from government and cronyism in government.
Don’t blame companies. They will do what is needed to make money.
If you listen to government (and you, apparently) businesses exist to provide paychecks, healthcare, pensions to everyone. Also to provide the same for regulators, bureaucrats and tax collectors.
If Americans through the governments they elect treat business as a scourge, you will lose everything they bring. Jobs, revenue, prosperity, liberty, community, and growth.
Government is the opposite of prosperity.
You are blaming the victim for being raped by big government and a greedy do-nothing electorate that wants something for nothing. They will get nothing, and they will bitch about it.
