yes.
but by doing this all the time as a "modus operandi", ...for funding startups for their nepo babies or bailing out the various companies in their portfolio, or to bribe/buy politics, or to campaign/compete against independent successful alternative businesses, or by bribing/buying the "core people" in an alternative competing business or straight out buy the entire successful alternative business and integrating that into their means of production ...

@ariaflame @marijn ...they essentially use their capitalist money printing class privilege to prevent progress in order to "save/consolidate their power" ...the costs for their printing is what we all pay for via inflation, including unaffordable house prices. The rich print money and spend it immediately to buy up stuff, and if that increases prices they just print more, so they can always afford it all, but we who cant print lose out
