14. I admit the stretch to monopoly is a bit but it's very very close
Edited on Wed Sep-10-03 12:27 PM by Bandit
Look at media consolidation, or energy consolidation. Look at what happened to California. They were victim of an energy fraud that was monopolistic in nature. An actual monopoly is not the case but when two or more get together and fix prices what's the difference? On edit: Relief only came to California when the Senate came into Democratic control and investigations were going to be launched . Prices suddenly dropped the very next day. Funny how all energy companies involved got the same notion at precisely the same moment.
