Antitrust laws as they exist are useless. They require a bar that is impossible to prove in real life. We need new laws that are flexible and allow a lot more power to split up and fine large companies

- akira2501 2y agoEvery President and Member of Congress for the past 20 years has failed on this account. I think a different lens to view this through would be more useful.
- kazinator 2y agoThe lens that the government is that the beck and call of corporations no matter who is in power?

- DidYaWipe 2y agoThis is clearly sarcasm.
- akira2501 2y ago> They require a bar that is impossible to prove in real life. Hardly. Discovery is an amazingly powerful tool. The problem seems to be most of these cases are argued in front of bench trials and not jury trials. Judges are often swayed by technocratic arguments and can be easily convinced to ignore the impact of monopolies on labor markets in favor of the simple consumer pricing argument. > and allow a lot more power to split up and fine large companies We already have that power. You might ask why the DOJ has refused to use it in the past two decades.
