      True but…

      What is it called when one company buys all the other ones & charges extortionate prices? Maybe with a sprinkle of selling lots of brands with the same crap inside?

      I can only think of “late stage capitalism” but there must be a more technically correct name for it.

      Edit: how can I forget the word monopoly? What is wrong with me? ?

      Might as well redefine wage theft to “not paying me what I think I’m worth” if we’re gonna go this far away from the typical definition.

      I think it’s usually along the lines of “not paying owed wages/paying below minimum wage”, most places you can look it up. Aka. literally paying less than what’s legal or agreed upon.
