A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
Once it is realized that business monopoly in America paralyzes the system of free enterprise on which it is grafted, and is as fatal to those who manipulate it as to the people who suffer beneath its impositions, action by the government to eliminate these artificial restraints will be welcomed by industry throughout the nation.
For idle factories and idle workers profit no man.Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Message (1938-04-29) to Congress, On Curbing MonopoliesSourcing, notes: wist.info/roosevelt-franklin-d…

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
Competition, of course, like all other good things, can be carried to excess. Competition should not extend to fields where it has demonstrably bad social and economic consequences. The exploitation of child labor, the chiseling of workers’ wages, the stretching of workers’ hours, are not necessary, fair or proper methods of competition.

I was offered a #cheaper plan by a #competing #mobile #provider - to which I agreed...
One hour after swapping (to their #simcard), my original mobile provider called, offering that I return to them for an even cheaper plan - to which I *happily* agreed!
This all resulted in my mobile phone bill shrinking by about 33%, and remaining with the provider I am familiar with and used to - quite the #win!
