Biden’s justice department is definitely an upgrade over the previous asshole’s.

I hope they remember to bring their teeth. Tired of the JD trying to gum these companies to death.

The current people doing antitrust seem quite serious about breaking up monopolistic companies.

Sadly the de-regulatory push since the 80s has taken much of the teeth from regulators. That and recent supreme court rulings and the overall business friendliness of the court makes anti-trust hard to pursuit by even the best intentioned regulators.

Anyone else remember when they tried the same thing in 1995 with Pearl Jam leading the charge?
