> Being on the side of the consumer means being on the side of the free market.

An unregulated market leads to monopoly and anti-competitive practices.

Capitalism is one of the best models we've discovered, but its markets must be appropriately regulated.

Capitalism should be difficult. An eternal treadmill. You shouldn't be able to wedge yourself into a market as a quarter-century long hegemon.

You shouldn't be able to capture the key touch point of all consumers to their digital life and then tax it for eternity. It's putting incredible strain on innovation and all other market participants.

Companies should die and be replaced by younger startups regularly. It's a renewing forest fire that de-ossifies technology.

Rewarding startups puts the capital rewards in the hands of innovation capital rather than large institutions. Large companies do everything they can to minimize labor costs. Venture funds are even hurting in that the monopolies put a cap on the number of startups that can reach decacorn or centacorn status.

And before I field any complaints that consumers don't care about this - most consumers are laypeople and do not understand what is happening to them. They can't articulate these points. This is why we require regulators to police the system.
