It's a similar story in other concentrated industries, like rental cars, where three firms control 50% of the market. Between 2019 and 2021, Hertz and Avis "enjoyed a profit increase of 597%," from $244 million to $1.67 billion. Hertz and Avis charged substantially more per transaction even though their expenses went down.
Capitalism has failed. Right now we're just that team that's 20 games under .500 playing out the string. The implosion could happen in our lifetime.

they're the ones who used it the most before 2020 too.Of all the massively stupid things Trumpanzees have been force-fed, the one that will bite them in the ass the most is absentee/early voting being bad. Given their voter bases skews older, they should be the ones pushing early voting/absentee to make their lives easier.
