  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Yeah wtf. Regulation is the only reason new businesses can come into the market at all

Indeed. Any problem with small business breaking in right now is mostly a function of the fact that our system for anti-trust has completely fallen off. Like the story about Microsoft and Phil Spencer wanting to buy Nintendo or Valve - in a sane world, they wouldn't even consider it because that's a clear case of consolidation that is harmful for consumers.
