> Would stronger (and enforced) anti trust laws be a solution? Stronger employee control and delayed decision-making would be a solution. To take a spin at it: - Any business that merges would be subject to two binding votes (x+2 & x+5 years) with "We wish to remain merged" or "We wish to spin off," voted upon by anyone who has been employed in the merged business at any time between the merger and vote (subject to some voting power apportionment, but resolutely not using share ownership) - The federal government is obligated to perform an x+5 & x+10 year review of the merger's effect on the competitive landscape, with the power to forcibly unwind the merger It would decrease valuations of M&A-targets, and decrease M&A activity, but I don't think anyone would argue that's intrinsically a bad thing in the modern competitive landscape.
