      Like , fully gay? Or is it more like 50, 75%? I don’t know this for a fact but I’m thinking I could probably have / see a fair amount of dude on dude stuff if I got to see / have regular girl on girl on girl and dude stuff.

      Read up on Reagan and anti-trust. He essentially said that monopolies that resulted in lower prices were good for consumers and that the government would turn a blind eye to them. Hasn’t been much change since then.

        monopolies that resulted in lower prices

        IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT DAYO~

        When you own the market, you either:

        • Dictate the price as the sole provider
        • Are forced to set the price because of your natural monopoly status (as a utility for example; until you stuff the utilities commission or regulatory capture your way into even controlling that)
        • Have to break up to create competition, release patents, or otherwise be forced to allow competition which leads to a lower cost alternative

        I hate the gipper. Fucking cunt, and he can’t fucking act either.

          But it’s specifically capitalism. A corporation doesn’t have to use capitalist principles to operate. It just has to be incorporated under local law. Worker coops are still corporations.

          The problem IS capitalism, not corporations. (though allowing giant monopoly ones I’m sure is its own ill even outside of capitalism)

            The problem is shareholders; The fact that extracting money out of the company is prioritised over the stability of the company. This leads to unstable companies which are vulnerable to shit like this.

              Extracting money out is the epitome of capitalism. The entire point.
