Maybe, instead of buying giant sclerotic companies with an unfair advantage so great that they're guaranteed to make outsized returns, he should put that capital towards something innovative and productive?

You do what you want with your money. He’ll do the same with his.

Free country. His right to spend however he wants to. Similarly my right to speak my mind on it. As it is yours.

You missed my point. I didn’t mean to say that couldn’t write what you wrote. I meant it was a ridiculous comment.

Why is it ridiculous?

No one who had any experience with running an organization of any complexity would opine that profits were guaranteed. Also, any corporate cronyism is too much corporate cronyism, but painting every successful investor with that brush is lazy thinking.

You're right but profits not being guaranteed, however it seems like you're missing my general point here. I didn't accuse him of cronyism. I think that society as a whole would get a much better return with him investing that money in, let's say, science than a monopolist.
