Yeah I don't think people realize how little choice we already have. Groceries? There's only a few in your area, many of them are owned by the same conglomerate. Cars? Most are co owned. Hotels, food, every industry is owned and co owned with multiple levels.

As George Carlin said, this country was bought and paid for a long time ago.
