Weird

I had weird thoughts today:

When the agency dismantles a monopoly in a market, it expands the consumer wealth open to appropriation by monopolists on other markets.

When the agency dismantles a monopoly in a market, it expands the amount of resources on which government can raise taxes.

Or the proof that all too often, we forget the basic principle that the economy works as a general equilibrium.
