For a market to be free, there must be actual competition. If the goal is to keep the market free, then the role of the government is to intervene to ensure a state of competition when such state does not exist.
If the goal is not to have a free market, then the role of government is to intervene and regulate the monopoly/oligopoly to ensure that people's constitutional rights are preserved and the monopoly is not used to obtain additional power or additional monopolies. AT&T was such a monopoly for many decades. They were prohibited from entering other businesses as it would just result in them expanding their monopoly.
There's a number of references to anti-Japanese sentiment in the article. Was that due to the ongoing imperialism of the Japan Empire at the time? For example, they had just annexed Korea in 1910.
Yep. This is an established pattern and practice by California.
Here's a famous one:

The problem with Jira is that it is checkbox software, designed to sail through the checkbox procurement processes that large organizations have. "It checks all the boxes!"
Because of this, it is basically jello. It is everything, and it is nothing.
It makes nothing simple, and encourages people to overachieve with the tool. If you overachieve with the tool, you will underachieve on what it is you're really trying to do.
This is why much simpler tools are better. They are usually free, or at least a lot less expensive, and they come with constraints that you have to live within. Usually those constraints prevent you from going tool crazy, and guide you to actually focus on getting work done instead of doing performance art with Jira.
Guilty until you prove yourself innocent. It's efficient, but unethical and immoral.
Requiring large entities such as government or monopolies to consider you innocent until proven guilty in a 3rd party controlled system, such as a court, is a fundamentally important check on power.
Fear ruins everything. As adults, we fear failure, so we try to prevent our kids from experiencing it. As adults, we fear not winning, so we re-invent games so there are no winners. Everyone wins! (except everyone actually loses). We fear lawsuits, so we don't let kids play on our property, and we don't let them skateboard, and we don't let them do things unless its an organized activity with licensed/bonded/insured supervision.
