Just concede the point. Why should we work hard enough?

I'm getting an MBA right now and that is exactly what I'm being taught. There's a bunch of flowery bullshit around it, but value extraction is the modus operandi.

Reality probably has no facts.

Is that a fact?

It's like an honest person turning into a compulsive liar. Until people catch on, what can't they get away with?

Because of the consumer surplus anti-trust paradigm. Comcast just needs to say that prices are as low as they would be in a more competitive environment. And cable companies in regional cable markets can tacitly collude simply by matching competitor prices. Thus, how do you prove that prices are actually too high and that Comcast and other cable companies are using their market power to abuse consumers? You can't.

Lina Khan, the American hero that she is, is trying to pursue an old anti-trust paradigm.
