    Businesses relying on free things. Logging, mining, ranching, and oil come to mind. Extracting free resources of the land belonging to the public, destroying those public lands and selling those resources back to the public at an exorbitant markup.

        Unregulated capitalism. That’s why people in dominant market positions want less regulation.

          Entrenched companies often want more regulation to prevent startup competition. Pulling the ladder up behind them.

            To be fair, they want more regulation n others, not on them. Specially if they’re doing shady things.

      Extracting free resources of the land

      Not to be contrarian, but there is a cost to extract those “free” resources; like labor, equipment, transportation, lobbying (AKA: bribes for the non-Americans), processing raw material into something useful, research and development, et cetera.
