while I see the theme, I also think there are smaller aspect that need to be addressed: such as a "regulator" having a monopoly on insurance, tied to one supplier, creating an explicit conflict of interest.

I also think the the courts allowing large interests to bully smaller individuals, such as the lawsuit against a non-sanctioned competition, needs to be addressed. Either Varsity is a gatekeeper, or it isn't - if it isn't, how could it possibly have a say in what competitions a gym competes in.

A monopoly is maybe "what", but these other violations are "how".
