Amazon and Nestlé probably do, and Nestlé probably benefits from various legal entrenchments. Wal mart is big but not a monopoly, and benefits enormously from state intervention = would not exist in any free society.

Im not saying thats what they did, its a hypothetical. Water is a human neccesity and supply and demand shouldnt apply to it. Everyone needs water. It should be free. Why pay for something that i require to live?
Allocation problems. Efficiency is lack of waste, is better use of resources and thus better service to life. That ownership is deontologically bad is meaningless when the consequentialist functions of ownership are well defined.

But capitalism wastes materials all the time? A example when i worked at Taco Bell, we would often change the frying oil much more than we needed to. We wasted lots of mostly clean oil bc it was considered more efficient than to let it build up to the end of the day.

Capitalism isn't without waste, but in principle and practice the freer the markets, the less the waste. Note that this isn't really against collective ownership, just against lack of market feedback.
