    Blame Reagan. Turns out that getting rid of that pesky government oversight did allow corporations to thrive… At the cost of consumers. It’s been a long slide, but the pandemic showed companies just how much they can get away with.

    There’s like 3 major airlines, 3 cell providers, and 10 companies that make most of your groceries. Profits are up, and so are prices. Competition is all but dead. To quote Highlander, “There can be only one.”
