Large companies can only exist if they receive monopoly rents. Otherwise incumbents would be outcompeted by challengers and we'd see a convergence of many small firms with low profit margins. So yeah, its the responsibility of the government to regulate monopolization and they aren't doing it.

Glad they'll overflow so I can still go rat spotting.
My grandfather gave me some dilapidated house in some place called Stardew something. It was a dump so I stayed at my job at Joja corporate. Some guy named Pierre wanted to buy it for like a fraction of what it was worth, real predatory guy. Last I checked it was infested with some sort weird bug. It almost sounded like it could talk, the weirdest things. Sometimes, I think about visiting, just out of curiosity, but then the quarterly reports come due, and keep forgetting about it. Recently, Pierre’s emails has gone from predatory lowball offers to ranting about the 'soul of the valley' and how my land is supposedly pivotal to some community revival fantasy. Honestly, if the bugs are half as persistent as Pierre, maybe they deserve to inherit the place.
100%, it can get even crazier too, if people think there is inflation then it causes inflation. Macro-economics isn't real and its 80% in peoples heads, 20% material conditions.
Inflation is governed by the supply of money. Monetary Policy controls how much money is in circulation and managed by the central bank. Fiscal Policy controls selling bonds to the public to make up for finance budget deficits without increasing inflation, and is managed by the government.
So the government borrows (e.g. sells bonds to the public) to raise money without increasing inflation.
Gee, what could go wrong with a ~50,000 pound vehicle that's potentially an automated death machine?
But then a philosopher could operate a switch between two moral dilemmas, do you really want /that/ reality.

With no accountability, accidents become a social cost, which the government is ultimately responsible for. Inaction is negligence.

I hope they know they'll become old one day and will need your help, I hope you remind them of how shitty they treated you and you get closure.
