| I suggest nothing, I'm merely saying that this grand idea of competition in business that we all have isn't really the reality. In the case of the internet, it's resulted in an internet which is headed towards corporate control, censorship, and the stifling of free speech instead of the wide open, global channel of communication and independence which people before the dot com bust had dreamed it up as. That dream is now dead. I don't know how to fix it, or keep it from happening again, I only know it's always what happens and it's just the way things are, always have been, and probably always will be. Capitalism ain't perfect, and capitalism does not always = fair market competition. But WTF do I know, I'm a film critic, no an economist. |
