    The megacorps can do anything they want with their product. The chef can change the menu anytime and he can refuse you service - it’s his restaurant. Our problem is that it’s a duopoly and there’s nowhere else to go.

    The only way out is open standards and platforms, enabling true competition.

      Real quick.

      Just imagine you order a plate of pasta. You’re only two bites in, and it’s DELICIOUS.

      Then here comes chef. While making full eye contact, he tips your plate and dumps all of that pasta in the trash.

      Chef proceeds to take a giant wet shit onto the plate. He brings a new set of silverware and a fresh napkin right before your server comes back with the check.

      You insist that you didn’t order a giant wet shit, but they won’t take it off the bill.

      Let’s stop pretending this is an inevitable oopsie. This shit is egregious.
