It's not illegal to have these deals; it's not illegal to have a monopoly. It's illegal to use your monopoly to prevent others from successfully competing.

And again- no one has made the determination that it is illegal. The DOJ believes it's illegal, but the DOJ doesn't decide what's illegal. We're literally having the trial to figure it out.

So, you're relying on overly simplistic assumptions that are misleading you.

You can easily get the legal arguments, they're on Wikipedia, they're on the doj website, they're on the indictments. The information just needs you to go out and get it.

I am definitely going to use that. And since I teach ninth graders, I predict I will be using that on a daily basis. Blessings upon you. (And the curses of ~175 9th graders every year.)

These 9th graders are luck to have you! The skill of taking initiative and finding the drive to look for information is a very powerful one.

Can anyone, anywhere demonstrate a public corporation that has a monopoly and hasn't abused it to keep competitors out?

Bueller?...Bueller....
