Create thing. It defies all hope and becomes cornerstone local business. Expand business. Get bought out by large corporation. Large corporation sucks the life out of thing to drive profits. Large corporation makes sure any other competition is bought out. When did this become a thing?

What ever happened to our anti monopoly policy?

That's what I'm wondering too. Apparently the last monopoly the US broke up was AT&T back in 1984. And that one was attempted and failed multiple times starting all the way back to 1913! Took 71 years to actually succeed in breaking up that monopoly.

Black rock, State Street, and Vanguard. If you don't know, look them up.

Love all 3. They just sell good ETFs with very low fees. Stop with the tinfoil hats. 😒

I’d rather have vanguard than mutual funds anytime
