wow, some seriously askew assumptions there. dont let the .ml pre-bias you.
as I said in a different thread on this post
concentration of wealth is built into any “free-market” system. you are not going to get around that with some magical libertarian talking point. picking a slightly less toxic mix of the poison by mixing govt regulation to promote market dynamism is an imperfect solution but, in my mind, preferential to the libertarian fuckery at the end of this video.
corruption in any system is still corruption. larger regulation is a way to forestall the worst of the “free market” bullshit. it is up to us to ensure that our representatives choose reasonable solutions, because the free market sure as fuck wont do it.
