I agree with much of what you have stated here... Many small businesses were forced to close during the plandemic while Amazon was deemed essential and the playing field further tilted to eating small businesses lunch... important distinctions needed to understand major difference to shitlib mentality... when it is missed yet again in error small business shrinks yet again

I agree, but there's a fine line between helping small business and kneecapping big business. Society cannot advance if we make it our work to narrow the gap between the successful and the less-successful by dragging the successful down. We can't kneecap successful big business to help small business. It won't even help small business and it will retard our economic output. The only proper thing is to make sure that the government isn't doing anything to tilt the playing field one way or the other, then let the market sort it out.

That is very much a key point.

Second is there merit to the Sherman Act when monopolies use unfair tactics? Has gov't corruption and huge value contracts favored heavily a number in Silicon Valley?
