Any market inherently results in consolidation. My local bakery is a giant chain. My local butcher has been driven out of business by supermarket chains.
That's not what I would call a local bakery. Or are they making bread there?

Only when you can undercut prices through scale. There are of course baking shops here as well, but they just don't have the quality of a real baker.
If you say we need more regulation and an actual Antitrust Division that does things, then I agree. If you say we need to get rid of free markets and capitalism and return to socialism, then I am strongly against that.
Is that an inherent property or is it the result of people in government who believe what you believe putting their thumb on the scale of the market in piecemeal?
