What do you like about antitrust laws? Without government intervention there are no monopolies. How did breaking up standard oil help anyone? They ended whaling, drove the price of kerosene from 100$ to 2$ -- how was this bad for the consumer? How did all the microsoft antitrust stuff help us? How is hassling google helping us? I think we're in agreement with respect to the law, the point of the parent post was that instead of hair-brained schemes to increase the number of startups we should reduce useless laws and regulations so that they can thrive.
