I wonder what sort of rewards you are being given for your continuous posting of propaganda on a car forum for your party. Or maybe your union buddies will assault you if you don't perform. Either way, it's obvious you don't think for yourself and your people are desperate!

That is a very interesting chart.
10fords--can't you find some other method of interaction besides personal attacks?

Most small businesses start off serving a specific market. The larger you get the more average you get. This leaves an underserved segment of the population. At some point someone realizes this and starts up a tiny little business serving this unmet niche.
Corporations are really good at making your average needs seem special while disregarding your more pressing needs.

Look at the auto and airline market to name a few others. Competition erodes, the smaller companies get run over or bought out by the more powerful and we end up with what we have now. Companies that put out below average products but are so large that they cannot be allowed to tank for fear of screwing up the economy.

And yet the public's investment in these mega corps is justified by the premise of economic growth.
It may be an unpopular view, but screw the "growth at all costs" mantra. Don't buy garbage if it compromises quality.

The small city (~20k people) that I grew up in has no less than five local banks in addition to offices of the major banks. Competition is indeed pretty healthy.
(Local, meaning under 10 branches total, confined to NJ -- some of them having their only branch in town.)
