Huh? Where did anyone say anything about companies getting big? At this case you're just making strawman arguments.

What I (and I think others) are against is anti-competitive behavior. I don't trust the government a whole lot (even my party) but I trust it more than I would a company behaving monopolistically.




By HN standards, Apple (with a 40% market share) and Amazon (10% of all retail sales) is a monopoly.

The difference is that the government has the power of law to compel me to do something. A company doesn’t. Given that choice, a government with less power is better.
