Me: Why don’t you like monopolies?

BGL: Because the lack of competition means poor service and high prices.

Me: So true! And the largest monopoly in world history is the US government. Crappy service and high prices.

BGL: That’s different!

Me: Right.

I’m not sure how well anti-trust laws would work, as the people enforcing them would be none other than the government hacks themselves. Written constitutions don’t work either, and for the same reason.

The real solution: secession.
