Didn't Standard Oil get dissolved because of this same thing of owning the entire supply chain and being anti-competitive?

No monopolies of actual importance ever get busted up. The last major monopoly bust I remember off the top of my head was when A-B bought SAB breweries, they forced SAB to sell Miller to Molson-Coors before being bought by A-B to prevent a A-B monopoly.

It is inexcusable that big tech companies aren’t busted up. They are so fucking powerful we are nearing a point where 2 or 3 corporate owners will legitimately control the world.
