Dear Monopoly Lovers:

 

Would you say that you are a bit troubled by.... "Private equity has made one-fifth of the market effectively invisible to investors, the media, and regulators"?

 

Monopolies did not begin with Gates and his monstrous monopoly, Microsoft, of course.

Gates, at one time, tried to stamp out Linux, as you know.

Fortunately, Linux proved to be fairly impervious to the GOLIATH, Gates, as he soon found out.

 

Here is an interesting Atlantic article....for those who might be so inclined to read it:

How much longer, would you imagine, this state of affairs will continue without inevitably reaching some tipping point, at which the pendulum will either begin to swing back, or, more likely, become completely unhinged?

 

This is not a good state of affairs, the one in which we now find ourselves.

 

What's to be done?

What is the best collective action to be taken?

 

Best regards,

Gamma

Nothing. We are doomed anyway, so it's all irrelevant,
