So exactly how was the government preventing a company town here?
And if a town is dependent on one major employee should we do what exactly?

By stopping Adobe from buying Figma. How exactly has the government stopped Adobe from starting a company town?

Sorry, I don't see why you're replying to my comment on this - I wasn't saying Adobe is about to start a company town.

Then what exactly is the purpose of bringing up “company towns” in a post about Adobe not being able to buy Figma?

No. I think anti-trust regulations are really important. Don't you?

"unless there's a great reason to do so"
I'm really struggling to understand why you're asking questions tartly instead of just reading what I said, which I tried to make very simple to understand, and replying just as simply.

I've read it. I'm asking questions because I'm struggling to understand the point you're trying to make. I thought I understood, but your response was so far off of my intent that I'm no longer certain.
You said the government shouldn't involve itself "unless there's a great reason to do so," which I interpret as implying you disagree with the reasons. Do you think anti-trust measures are a great reason?
If you think preventing company towns isn't a great reason to need approval, fair enough, but then why are you saying company towns are bad?
