  • there's a few communities of authoritarian communists here, like the sort that like Stalin and Mao and they mostly reside on hexbear and (less but still) Lemmy. ml. Btw I'm also pretty new here.

  • once they have a monopoly what if the government broke up monopolies, and promoted competition? then you wouldn't have the large price increase you described afterwards. ofc competition alone cant fix the environmental issues you described, thats probably best solved by some government body, like if they taxed new plastic being produced so companies would be incentivized to recycle what they could. also thx for actually writing a longer reply

  • So why don't you start a bottled water company that'll make it better? If there's an opening in the market for something like that, it'll be filled by people wanting to make money

  • Competition that is meaningful. Like if you produce bottled water, and you lower the quality of it (like, idk maybe theres stuff floating inside) so its cheaper to make, people will notice and switch to an alternative. And when the alternative tries something similar, they'll switch back to you. Regulation can also help with this but at the same time it increases the barrier to entry for new players, lowering competition. I think.
