gonvaled's Journal: Why big companies are so bad

Let's split the world into four kind of companies:

1 - small companies trying to be big companies
2 - small companies not trying to be big companies
3 - big companies trying to strengthen their position
4 - big companies not trying to strengthen their position

By "big company" I understand a company with monopolistic power.

Type 1 and 2 are just family companies which do not affect policy making. They are not a threat to the common good (they do not own a market and can not push for secretiveness since they need to cooperate). Type 2 is a potencial danger, though.

Type 4 will disappear sooner or later.

Type 3 is evil. They are there and will stay there for time to come. They do anything they can to strengthen their position, including fucking up customers, limiting freedom, striving for closed processes.
