Any CEO worth their salt will just fuck over their competitors if given chance, not act for good of capitalist class.

What is cornering the market?

What is a monopoly?

What is a cartel/oligopoly?

Lolol

The purpose of a CEO is to make as much money as possible, not "fuck over their competitors", e.g form a monopoly. The path of least resistance is forming a price cartel with like one guy - i.e the immediate outcomes of early capitalism and the defining characteristics of the founding of most capitalist states.

Try getting healthy insurance or a phone plan today lmao. Try for 5 minutes to get municipal fiber in your city.

These rubes think the point of competition is to compete forever. The point of is to win.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
