I'm not arguing with the profit seeking model per se. I'm just saying absolute control of commerce by a handful of people is probably a recipe for disaster. I'm more of a small business person myself.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.

So you're just spouting talking points with no proof of anything.

Stated differently...your Making **** Up.

Every small business needs a global supply network stay stocked up for peoples' needs locally. there are seasonal food production time going on twice a year to obtain the same one season crop.

Every supply network needs transportation of raw material to finished products. That is why Intellectual Time Management is necessary and very beneficial to everyone alive here, every generation gap present.

Corruption abuses those systems of benefiting everyone equally. it is what separates capitalizers from capitalism. right from wrong, good vs evil, left and right leaderships and fellowships or those not involve with either. Your small business people.

Chain of command leading people on the need to know doesn't sustain honesty at all as history has shown how bad thing can get with current events globally reaching fruition now.

people believing life isn't self evident call self preservation greedy, selfish, egotistical, arrogant talking about I am instead of we are. Genetics breed individual soles adapting as displaced ancestrally position as an ever changing population left alive each rotation of the planet in series parallel event horizon cycles working the same way every generation gap new cycles replace dying ones that reproduced the numbers still living now.

In theory, theory and practice are the same...in practice, they aren't.

Your assertion is nothing more than a liberal political talking point that has no proof behind it.  Your just repeat it like a well trained monkey.

I have some reality for you. Try searching laissez faire economics in your search engine. You'll see the great wonders of the pure profit motive. Things like 10 year old children losing their limbs in 60 hour work weeks in slavery like conditions. There's that thing called history too. By the way, laissez faire is a French term for "let do" roughly translated. Faire typically means to make or do but it is sometimes difficult to translate like the word "get" and "got" in the English language.

So you still have no examples to provide. History is just that.

A merger would mean people lose jobs.  Not the best thing.  A government run store would look out for the employees.
