    I’m always glad to see the government go after a consolidated vertical monopoly like these assholes. It is part of the government’s damn job, afterall.

    But it kind of feels like it’s a play for optics when there are much larger issues.

      Its weird how a large group of people such as the federal government can work on more than one thing at a time.

      Just because you dont know all the other things happening doesnt mean theyre not.

        Dear US government, please stop climate change. I don’t even go to concerts. I would feel bad about the gas it takes to get there

        And it’s weird how these things almost always get killed by someone like Joe Manchin or the SCOTUS in spite of all the hard work of those good people. Try to pay more attention to what is actually going on.

      They are supposed to stop it looooong before it gets to this stage. Have one or more companies formed powerful trusts that give them significant power over a market? Break them apart and bust them open.

      Instead, we twiddle our thumbs while bootlicking white knites tell you it’s not a monopoly because there are TWO trusts cornering entire markets.

      It’s madness.
