They did it to themselves. By limiting competition in a lazy move to maintain dominance they have lost.

Oh, they haven't lost. It's us who have lost. Government is protecting their profits.

For now. Its always been the government who helped create the captive market.

Can I start losing then? I’d love to have great grand children that never need to work a day in their life.

Oh no they don't think they have lost. No one will force them to give the money back unless there is a purge. Even then no one will be asking.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
