The only thing that would prevent that is the complete end of capitalism. So you're saying there can be no good things at all, no material increase in standard of living, no wins, nothing, until capitalism is completely replaced?

No, you just need to regulate who can merge with who, and when, and why. And not accept bullshit answers from executives.

You're just moving the goal-posts because you know you don't have an actual argument.

Mergers are far from the only way to create a monopoly.
