@chartier I'm reminded of a metaphor in Pirates of Silicon Valley about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates both knowing this rich naïve neighbor named Xerox. One catches the other hauling a TV from Xerox and blames them for stealing it before they could.

Similarly, lawmakers let monopolists nullify anti-trust law. Now, instead of a space race between dozens of companies, our future is basically controlled by one lucky illegal immigrant from South Africa who stole the TV first. #spacex
