What other companies? There’s just a handful of conglomerates and a few defacto monopolies who all stay out of each other’s lanes. Where they should be competing, they colude. We need to elect some trust busters but we keep being told our only options are keep things the same or burn it all down.

I’m seeing ten root nodes in that structure. Are you claiming that ten distinct market competitors are able to maintain a pricing cartel without any defection? That seems unlikely to me.
