      Anyone who has played Monopoly should know, the goal of capitalism is to end competition and become the board’s one true landlord. We have entire economic sectors with 2-3 players now.

      Really no reason to allow any corporation of publically traded scale to merge with another one from the perspective of consumers, only private investors for private speculative investment profit(aka gambling, often with loaded insider info dice), but here we are.
