      The existence of more than one brand of any given product would indicate one of us doesn’t understand something.

      Capitalism exists to funnel wealth upward through ownership of the means.

      It isn’t immediately and perfectly efficient at anything it does, creating a market of perfectly optimized and perfectly profitable goods like your comment accidentally implies.
