California Attorney General Rob Bonta alleged Amazon led a price-fixing conspiracy of online retailers to inflate prices across the entire economy. And he's demanding an immediate halt.
When the cons go on about the “free market” and competition, all they really are interested in is competition between individuals to be able to apply for wage slavery positions.
They are definitely NOT all that interested in having real competition between various entities. See their reactions to things like the post office, public schools and municipal wifi.
They absolutely HATE the idea of government entities setting a ceiling on prices. They agitate and agitate on stripping the post office and public schools and line up on the side of private tyrannies when it comes to muni wifi. They also don’t really give much of a damn when it comes to huge inequities of siren server companies, except to make some vague noises about how the “liberal” Big Tech (lol) is “cancelling” conservative speech (lmao even).
So, if they really value competition so fucking much, they’d welcome the additional competition, even if it’s from the government. They act like that’s “cheating” or something instead.
