The answer is not letting any company grow into a monopoly. There are actual laws against that. Break up existing monopolies. Then make business owners way more accountable than they are today. I know it is hard to prove intent in fraud cases, but any sort of creative accounting, transfer of debt between companies, bonuses that aren't in alignment with company performance, stock buybacks and other manipulations of valuation, and a myriad other obvious fraudulent behaviors should be punished with long prison time.

    I've been screaming about monopolies for 3-years now. Everything people bitch about capitalism boils down to monopolies.

    BTW, stock buybacks used to be illegal until 1982. Ain't that a thing?
