the more you protect from foreign competition on strategic grounds, the more essential it is you ensure a brutally competitive industry domestically.

@interfluidity Well, Amazon is pretty brutal towards all other retailers...and their employees... and bottles.

@admitsWrongIfProven it’s a mark of absence of competition when a firm can be brutal to its stakeholders. (one isn’t brutal as directly with ones competitors, one can compete hard, but a business does so much not establish contracts on ungenerous terms with its competitors.)

@interfluidity Yeah, i thought the sarcasm was palpable ^^

From what i heard the biden admin did like some baby steps towards monopoly control recently. Wonder if it just takes years to get anything going or why else that would take so long.
