If you believe in markets,
You recognize that having a cop on the beat, not to pick winners and losers, not to tell you that that's a cool game and that's not a cool game.
That's for others to work out.
But to say you can't have one giant in the field.
knocking out all the small businesses and the startups.
You can't have private equity move in and buy up every damn veterinary practice in the state and then triple the prices when folks come in to have their pets taken care of.
You and I could use the examples on and on through this.
And that, to me, is really pro-business because it keeps the competition alive.
Look now at what's happening in this Trump administration.

even bigger giants for private equity to come in and do roll-ups.
And the other thing is to engage in practices that undermine competition, corruption.
