- eastbound 2y agoThe previous administration didn’t do anything either. They, oh oops, studied for 3.5 years, and launched processes in the last 4 months of the 4 years. Oh my, I need to reelect them to see it happen!
- cudgy 2y agoActually, there’s still a chance the current administration can do something about it. But there’s a zero chance the previous administration did anything about it.
- dd36 2y agoLina Khan did a ton of anti-trust but corporations seem to have realized Trump is transactional/pay to play. One can hope the strong antitrust continues but there’s little reason for optimism.
- cudgy 2y agoUnfortunately, pay to play is better than no pay to play. Recently, Trump had the audacity to ask for half of TikTok for the government to approve the deal. That sounds like a lot more than Lina Khan or Biden would’ve demanded. By the way, I’m not condoning government ownership of corporations as the ideal solution, but I absolutely do not approve of huge corporate subsidies with no value in return for tax payers and handwaving small fine penalties for obvious monopoly behavior.
