On Being Oppressed by Oligopolies

There are real problems trying to deal  with very large corporations and entities, like multinationals. Dealing with problems that arise from personal relationships can be simpler; you can try to solve the problem or leave the relationship. Usually in personal cases there is relatively equal bargaining power. Dealing with problems with an entity that has acquired a near monopoly of some kind or another cannot usually be solved; you can, of course, leave the relationship but you must then engage in another relationship with a similar large and over powering entity. Like the farmer in Grapes of Wrath, you learn there is no point in shooting the bailiff; another bailiff will arrive shortly.
