    This is how a functioning capitalist system should work. Companies competing against each other for the benefit of the consumer.

      The purpose of a system is what it does. Capitalism is functioning, it’s just that we’re not the beneficiaries.

      No, that’s socialism - benefit for the community. Under capitalism, it’s a principle of putting profit before people, rather than the inverse.
