Just Saying:

Even if Lidl is not a monopoly it is currently, it will become one if we let it. Just think about it:

  • they control a lot of stores
  • it is still controlled by a very rich man
  • they will soon push out many independent products for their own

Even if we can't outlaw making a profit from the means of production, we should at least make all critical infrastructure (like supermarkets) be owned by a in German we call them โ€žFรถrderkreisโ€ with an ethics committee where the people working there and others associated with it can democratically vote about any and all changes.
