Show us an "industry" now not dominated by monoploy. Better, show us an institution (in the broadest sense of that word) not now deeply corrupt.
In the U.S. the largest retail chains account for better than 40% of sales. "Price fixing" is through the elimination of competition. Toyota and GM don't compete on price, they compete on cutting costs. And so on. Reduction of manufacturers, reduction of suppliers, reduction of transport alternatives, just run on down the list.
The little guys just want their share. And heat over gasoline prices is just another, lower level, distraction from what matters. Typical sound bite stuff.
The occasional application of the law to the unwary and unconnected is food for the idea of functioning democracy. But not at all otherwise.
