    Ok but how would that even work? When a company’s product/service is good, then people start recommending it to others and more and more people start using it. The only way to stop companies from growing big is to force them to stop accepting customers after a certain point.

        Then the big companies will just operate under multiple names to commit tax evasion like they already do and pay off the politicians to let them.

          So your reasoning is that it’s not enforced now, so it’ll never be enforced?

          Okay, no point in bothering then, huh?

            I’m saying that the big corporations have such a strong foothold that I personally don’t think we will ever be able to properly regulate them when they can pay off all of the politicians. I’m not trying to be a doomer, those are just my beliefs.
