How Lockdowns Bolstered An Industrial Cartel

 Among the many grim memories from the depths of lockdowns were boarded up local shops and long lines outside the big-box stores like WalMart, Kroger, Whole Foods, and Home Depot.

Nearly every day, my inbox fills with tragic stories of family businesses that were just getting going when the lockdowns came and destroyed everything.

Lockdowns were the bolstering of industrial cartels, particularly in the information sector.

They far prefer industrial cartels of the sort created during the lockdowns.

This is what was created during lockdowns in the US and around the world.

It would be naive to believe that they had no role in the destruction of American liberty and rights in those fateful days of lockdowns.

The introduction of digital commerce in the late 20th century threatened a new age of commercial freedom that came to a screeching halt with the lockdowns of 2020.
