    There wouldn’t be barriers to new companies opening up to compete as there are now.

    The current system we use encourages monopolies through the regulations.

    Want proof? Look at the monopolies.

      There would be the monopolies with private armies and more money than God to shut down new competition. They can lower prices for years to run at a loss locally to run the newcomer out of money, or just do a hostile takeover.

          I’m all for clearing roadblocks for startups and small businesses. Why can’t you do that wile still making sure markets stay markets not monopolys?

              Yeah, so make it easier for competition. And give antitrust actual teeth. There’s massive money flowing into the government and campaigns to turn it into the type of no regulations government you’re proposing. So we need to fight really hard to actually enforce those regulations so monopolys don’t form.
