    And company leaders that get too big get cut down to size instead of letting them becoming a monopoly and slowing down.

      I think the jury is still out on this one but there’s definitely been some of it as opposed to zero. There’s still a disturbingly high number of billionaires which makes me feel they either don’t cut down enough or when they do, it’s for show.

        That’s a sad truth, Reagan basically stopped checks and balances on monopolies. Clinton tried to revive it, but it was killed by Bush.
        So basically free reign for large cooperations for 40 years.
