Monopolies are good for the consumer?

Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. That has never been true ever.

Based on the last sentence, I believe it’s satire.

[–] raldone01@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the second sentence made that clear but apparently not.

If only there was an understood way to convey sarcasm.

There is /s but I opted not to use it. Using it makes the sarcasm less "fun"/rewarding for me.

I am quite surprised at the amount of people that think people exist that would praise a monopoly and celebrate shareholder value. Sadly people thinking that means that they have encountered people who hold such beliefs seriously. Which is quite sad.

If you’ve never been to the US, don’t. Half the population unironically hold those beliefs as sacred.

Okay celebrating shareholder value I get in an indoctrinated pure* capitalist society.

But praising a monopoly? Wasn't that one of the main points capitalism should prevent?

The free market brings about competitors when they are needed.

Which does not hold true in reality due to various reasons and dynamics like entry cost...

Edit: These two are related as monopoly -> big shareholder value. Still the free market should prevent monopolies. Sooo Ahhh.

You’re assuming the indoctrinated ever bothered to learn what they’re celebrating as opposed to cheering in capitalism like it’s their favorite football team.

How did you get that downvote? Must have been a mistake.
