The Rigging Of The American Market Summary

Although I wish it wasn't true, the article titled The Rigging of the American Market is very real. The part about cable companies especially struck out to me, because it is something my family has experienced and tried to solve. As a whole, my family has been less than happy with the service of Time Warner Cable, but it is the only readily available Cable/Phone/Internet provider. Due to this, we can either pay an outrageously expensive price for below average quality, or just drop the services all together - and the latter most likely won't happen. Airline and food corporations are taking advantage as this fact as well, because people need to eat to survive and sometimes, a plane flight is necessary for a person if they need to be somewhere
far away and fast. However, since there are only a limited quantity of these services, the distributor can make the prices skyrocket and face no other competition. Overall, I feel that some sort of solution needs to come into play to protect the consumer. I'm not sure what it would be, or how it would be enacted, but there is something wrong with the major monopolies that are existing today.
