Oligopolies are still not competitive. We need research into finding out what market share starts distorting competition, and tying antitrust to that.

A market with 2 competitors can still be broken down further.

Oligopoly has an actual meaning and that meaning isn't "companies I have heard of"

What's funny is you hate Uber because you've heard of them but Yellow Cab had a literal monopolistic chokehold and you didn't give a fuck at all.
