What happened to free market capitalism?
It doesn't exist. Governments, especially the U.S. government have involved themselves in manipulating the minutia of commerce for a long time.
Out of curiousity, RileyMc, what would you see as the prefered solution?
Break up and disband the cozy relationship between government and the corporations who control government for their own protection. Get government out of business and business out of government. Reverse the Supreme Court decision that recognizes a corporation as a person. That's a start.
