The underlying problem in all these cases is the failure of the FTC to do its goddamn job of enforcing antitrust and consumer protection law.
Heh, Lina Kahn's done the best job at that of anyone in years. Rupert Murdoch has pushed hundreds of hit pieces against her because she's been so strong on the antitrust suits.
That's true, and yet my point is, too. It just goes to show how comprehensively the FTC has been failing that even good leadership is too little, too late at this point.
Oh yeah, the work she's been doing is like 30 years overdue.
