It's good that the courts finally look at the price fixing of the RAM cartel. I think it must become a much bigger lawsuit. It can not be that these de-facto monopolies keep on fixing the prices upwards. Even in a very capitalistic society such as the USA was once (before the orange mafia hijacked the country, even though in a more recent election the mafia lost big), capitalism assumes that free market competition lowers the prices and affordability for the average Joe, as a buyer. Clearly this is NOT the case here in the RAM cartel. You now pay like 3x as much as you did two or three years ago - and the high prices are maintained. That's a cartel. That has nothing to do with a free market.

I also think mandatory jail times for the CEOs need to happen. It can not be that they can buy their way out of punishments and damage they cause against society.

Capitalism does not assume anything. If anything, unfettered capitalism naturally gravitate towards monopolies and rent-seeking, since they provide large and stable margins. The technological progress is an accidental byproduct of efficiency drives, which is an occasional byproduct of economic systems in specific historical circumstances.
