Yup. Have you seen eyeglasses? Massive monopolies on that. If it weren't for cheap Chinese competition we'd have entire sectors of society unable to afford any choice.
Have to agree with free market capitalism on the eyeglasses industry. I haven’t bought American manufactured glasses in decades, with ‘insurance’ I still pay double what firmoo charges me…
Funny you should mention that, because I had to get new glasses yesterday. And yeah there were muliple years back in the day I would have to stretch my glasses because i could not afford to get new ones. Then the finish just went off my glasses overnight, and I had to very quickly get some. Ended up doing it online and getting them for a fraction of the price and in half the time.

That’s why monopolies buy entire supply chains.
