It's was just the typical business response when an entrepreneur manages to establish an absence of competition. They get tunnel vision and can't see the future. They don't innovate, they reinvest in the existing structure.

It's like the oil guy doesn't invest in wind, or electric cars. He might fire the fuckin CFO or whatever that even suggest this. That same money, instead of investing in the future, they will like pay a lobbyist to convince the government to pass pro oil bill or some shit to maintain their monopoly. No one like bucking the system if it's in their favor....
