I never ever said anything about top-down choice depriving solutions. That is a straw-man you have dragged into this conversation.

This is not a debate about the merits of capitalism vs. socialism (or communism).

This is simply saying that some free-market solutions lead to worse outcomes for society. My hoped-for solution was a co-op model app which is completely in the free market realm.

You went ahead and made this about the inherent virtue of capitalism and choice.

I really dont know what you are saying about Amazon since you seem to be equivocating. Not letting Amazon be a monopoly is depriving their customers of choice!
