Monopoly Is Not A

 I have been surprised by the talk of fighting monoplies popping up of late.

 The Important Missing Word That Discredits the Centrists’ New Letter ( The New Republic)

Ah, but that last one … and here we return to the Suozzi letter. It sings the praises of competition. Great. I’m all for it. But what force today in the United States is crushing competition? It’s not the Democratic Socialists of America. It’s not the government. It’s not Zohran Mamdani.

It’s the billionaire class, or “the Epstein class,” if you prefer Jon Ossoff’s acerbic locution. You call yourself a capitalist, Tom Suozzi? Well, monopoly is the most grotesque perversion of capitalism that exists. There’s a reason Adam Smith hated monopolies. Centrist Democrats should familiarize themselves with that history, if they don’t know it.

Before that I listened to this interesting interview about monopoly and privacy. I got a shock that the Paramount-WB merger will leave the company in $80 billion worth of debt. They shackling themselves for what purpose?
