With less competition to fear, companies are emboldened to raise their mark-ups and profits. That lifts share prices and thus the wealth of already wealthy shareholders.

You know, a lot of people are just interested in, in building a company so they can make money and get out.

The big companies are the private industry. But they're faced with a short-term need to show a profit in short-term.

Marketplaces by their nature tend to grow faster than most other companies.

Companies that grow for the sake of growth or that expand into areas outside their core business strategy often stumble. On the other hand, companies that build scale for the benefit of their customers and shareholders more often succeed over time.

That said, there is a tendency to help the large industrial conglomerate more quickly than the small company you have never heard of. That is something in the culture we are trying to change.

Anytime there is a new, interesting space that comes along, there are a bunch of companies that enter the market.

If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.

Companies that grow create wealth. This, in turn, allows people to have jobs that create more growth and more wealth. It's a virtuous cycle.

Companies don't get rich hurting their customers.
