    the best way to avoid monopoly charges, is to create multiple companies that “compete” with eachother, that you own.

    Luxotica learned this a long time ago, which is why they profit on almost any pair of glasses you buy, and why no one things its a monopoly

        IIRC, Pepsi and Coca-Cola are not owned by the same parent umbrella corporation. But you are generally right. Again, IIRC, there are like six companies that own something like 85% of brands in grocery stores.
