But again, scarcity is not a synonym of zero-sum. Is competition difficult? Sure. At times. But we've also choked out competition at the local level by subsidizing entire industries, and over-regulating smaller, local businesses. And of course, this just scratches the surface of how very complicated the issues are. For instance, the supreme court's stance on corporate personhood is pretty absurd. But these are largely symptomatic of living in a corporatist system.
