You know I think it's kind of funny that there's such a tendency towards monopoly and power centralization in business, in order to "maximize efficiency", when the main argument in favor of the free market, as I see it, is in favor of competition and innovation. It's just funny that the competition doesn't actually exist, and the innovation only comes about in the form of evergreened to shit intellectual property that further enforces a lack of competition.

Innovation sometimes comes from government investment which is taxpayer funded but then the profits are kept private.
