4. Great lesson on monopolies.

They destroy competition and raise prices. Not overnight, but over time. On a smaller scale this is happening here, slowly but surely. Higher prices and wages are a one way street that are hard to reverse.
A great lesson for the Democratic Party. It’s time to focus on regulations or lack of them that are driving up prices and give more money and power to the rich as monopolies drive out conpetition.
It’s time to Bust the Trust before it is too late.
Look at big oil. The own production from the oil fields to the gas stations. Now it is happening to agriculture. Small farmers are going out of business and big ag is controlling the markets more and more.
Wake up.
