It’s a slippery slope. In the relative, I think there’s a sound argument that crony capitalism got them there, and only regulatory measures could pry them out. In the absolute, they should be left alone to operate as they see fit, within the confines of natural rights and the non-aggression principle.

Right. I believe the anarchist position would be no state, and hence no state intervention/anti-trust regulations. If crApple violates anyone's natural rights, one should have recourse to a truly independent, non-state arbitrator/court.

Appreciate the nuanced response. There’s the ideal state, and the reality of the current situation. That’s what has me stuck in what feels like a contradiction of self in supporting this decision.
