RE: How will Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub hurt Steemit's development??

When did we turn our backs on monopolies? It certainly gives us less choice and should they decide to set prices on any items and there is no competition.....well we are screwed so to speak. Apathy abounds. 🐓🐓

Sort:  

We turned our backs on monopoly ENFORCEMENT way back in the 1890s, when the Standard Oil Company led the way in snubbing antitrust laws by bribing judges and Congressman and getting away with it. It's to the point where they even let two of the "Seven Sisters" re-merge (Mobil and Exxon) and nobody lifted a finger to stop it.
