We can’t have a totally free market?

A free market without rules would be like competitive teams playing sports games without rules.
Agree or disagree?
If you agree, how should the free market be limited?

None of these are “individual rights.”
Look at Mc Donalds- in the beginning it was cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes. Now, check out their menu, and in spite of that Burger King, Wendy's, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Del Taco, etc., etc.
And None of them have a monopoly
If I dont like what facebook does, which I dont, I can just abstain from using it. Same with TV and news media. I do this all the time. I am the customer from HELL, who makes up his own mind (for better or worse). If everyone else did that, the marketplace would serve the people better.
Sometimes something comes to market that is unique. That business may start out as a monopoly. A monopoly that could be maintained as long as the completion can not duplicate a similar product at a similar value.
No force needed during this stage.
and then a freer one...and then a freer one.....
