gollark: They do need to innovate and I think have been attempting to a bit.
gollark: Competition encourages more efficient production, so you can do better than other companies.

gollark: Competition *is* pretty important, since it provides actual incentives to improve.
gollark: btw I'm a libertarian centrist with vaguely georgist beliefs about some things
