I find it funny that it is apparently ok to control a monopoly on the essentials of life, but wrong to try and take a piece of that for free. How dare they.
People will work within the means they are given.
If you starve them and give them no means of collection fiscal denominations controlled by a corrupt scam system then they will steal.

And still starve.

.....or collect welfare.
The most simple example I can think of although there are many is when Walmart moves into somewhere they wipe out all the small business which cannot compete.

Walmart is a big business, not a monopoly. In fact, show me one example of a real life monopoly.

It virtually does corner the market.

A monopoly is not that. A monopoly completely corners a market. If everyone only bought food from Walmart, then its a monopoly.

Well, everyone needs electricity.
In my state, only one company (as it is in most states) controls this essential service. You either get it through them, or don't get it. Everyplace you will go is that way.
The same with internet service- for me, it is Comcast or nothing.
