I don't want to defend capitalism, but the bottom panel depicts activity that is technically very illegal in the US (but antritrust laws have not been enforced by the FTC since the 1980s, barring a few short years in 2020s under Lina Khan).

Capitalism definitionally requires competition, without it you have... something even worse.

So is socialism (just different wordings). Also, "communism" (never actually done, as far as I know). Also, . And that's why we should bring up future generations to be better than us and leave the planet a better place than it was before us, not debate each other about what kind of pipe dream is more effective at achieving nothing

You invented technology that makes my company more efficient. After buying your company and laying off 20% of my workforce, we have increased our profits by 100%. Bonuses for all ~^executives^~
