"Ah just let private industry compete. When you have literally hundreds of options, the cream will rise to the top.

Competition is the way of capitalism, so don't turn your back on it or you'll have unaffordable scarcity.

The best thing — oh, hang on, it's the cabal of private corporations. A merger, you say? Glory to the consolidation of wealth! Yeah, of course you can price fix with the rest of the triopoly. It's called 'market price.'

As I was saying, the best thing to do would be to layoff the entire staff, sell everything for pennies on the dollar, and leave everything in the trustworthy hands of private enterprise. They're just better at it."
