Wait? What?
It seems like a pretty strange position to just assume that the government is always right. I mean, if I said, all people the police arrest are probably guilty and should go to jail, I would hope you'd disagree.
- jlarocco 4y ago> It seems like a pretty strange position to just assume that the government is always right. Big cases against big companies are different. Since the company will have (nearly) unlimited resources to fight, the FTC will only bring a case if they're pretty sure they can win, otherwise it will be a big waste of money all around. It's really not anything like the police arresting people.
- zeroonetwothree 4y agoThe government has lost many antitrust cases. In fact, they often do them for political reasons, not because they actually care about the outcome.
