You say that like it’s worse than the current capitalist epidemic of giga corporations pushing independent farmers out of the market to the point of leaving them jobless and forced to sell their farm to them for cheap.
But it’s different when a monopoly/oligopoly does it!

It makes it near impossible for small businesses to stand up to established ones with all the resources.
