Ugh. The woo-ing has pulled us further into today's morass every year. Whyyyyy keep doing it??
It was under this theory that Jimmy Carter started to remove a few of the Jenga blocks from the antitrust system. Then Ronald Reagan came along and tore them out by the fistful. (Most of the right-wing policies for which we remember Ronald Reagan started under Carter, who was hoping to woo conservative voters. He failed.)

KKR [a rapacious private equity fund] is responsible for the epidemic of dollar stores, with a nasty little scam that targets poor and rural communities by surrounding their only grocery stores with dollar stores until the grocery stores go under, then closing all but one of the dollar stores, with the sole survivor raising prices and slashing staffing.

1. First, platforms are good to their users.
2. Then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers.
3. Next, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves.
4. Finally, they have become a giant pile of shit.
This pattern is everywhere. Once you learn about it, you'll start seeing it, too.
