Much cheaper to break up the monopolies and change the system to prevent them forming in the first place. Subsidizing new entrants without changing the environment that creates monopolies will just feed the beasts with fresh meat.

Break up the Weston vertical monopoly and watch how fast the rest starts evening out.
