It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want.
And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public.
