Antitrust enforcement was greatly weakened by Reagan and has never been restored to its previous level, even during Democratic Administrations [0]. Superficially, that appears to be a decrease in regulatory activity. But it's one that obviously favors consolidation, and probably has the support of a lot of big-company lobbyists. So the reality is more complex, I think, than either you or BurningFrog are suggesting.
