    Don’t really care about the competition. I care about having cheap access to [X]. If the competition can’t compete, then fuck em. That’s not my problem.

      That only matters under an economic system that necessities competition.

      Change the economic system to one that encourages cooperation instead, and that won’t be an issue.
