monopolies only exist with government intervention. they don't exist without some sort of external support.    > steel barely employs any people. see pic related, a guy operating a crane can move 100 tons of liquid steel. it would have taken thousands of workers to move this product in small batches 120 years ago. its likely the most heavily mechanized and automated industry in the world. those people get subsidized if they don't make a profit. i don't need government leeches sucking off my teat.
