Instead of adhering to rigid and artificial constructs, antitrust enforcers should focus their energies on realizing the progressive purpose of the antitrust laws, namely to combat the exploitative abuse of market power that operates to the detriment of competition and consumers.

@PeteHegseth @ICEgov Anyone who applauds shooting a protester isn’t fit to be an American citizen. This nation was founded on the principles of protest and dissent. Shame on you.

Thank God for the patriots of @ICEgov — we have your back 100%. You are SAVING the country. Shame on the leadership of Minnesota — and the lunatics in the street. ICE > MN

Elon Musk is wrong. The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire “the best and the brightest,” but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.

@PGunigantiAT Don’t recall what they were. Saw them in an exhibit years ago and was struck by the anti-monopoly fervor and the idea of monopoly leveraging that was expressed.

Kudos to the FTC rep for accurately describing the use of the term “monopoly” at the time of the Founding as a reference to government favoritism (eg giving an exclusive right to the East India Co for the importation of tea).

Interested in the interplay between competition policy and democracy? Important discussion at the OECD today where I presented the @BusinessatOECD perspective which you can read here one.oecd.org/document/DAF/C…. Thanks to @OECD_BizFin for the excellent debate

@EELitwin Did they use the term monopoly? Also, any links? I’m not familiar with the handbills.

@PGunigantiAT No. There were handbills that for lack of a better term were concerned about monopoly leveraging.

@EELitwin Do you mean the Feb. 28 1773 letter from the NY Committee of Correspondence (“And when they find their success in this Article [tea], they will obtain liberty to export their Spices, Silk etc.”)?

If the Democratic Party is to become a democratic party, the first job of a new DNC Chair is to get super-PAC money out of Democratic primaries. AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super-PACS cannot be allowed to select Democratic candidates.

1. Since the new line on why antitrust is bad is the Spirit Airlines bankruptcy, let's talk about what is really happening. Here's a hint. The CEO of Spirit was paid a $3.8 million bonus the week before the bankruptcy. But you don't hear about that. wlrn.org/business/2024-…

The working class of this country is angry. They have a reason to be angry. The very wealthy are doing phenomenally well, while 60% of us are living paycheck to paycheck. It’s time to get big money out of politics and create an economy that works for the people.

This is a very bad night. Some of us spent years warning Dems to take working-class politics more seriously & to not tout neocons. We did so in hopes of avoiding this & yet we were vilified as traitors by Dem elites & liberal pundits. There's a lesson here. Goodnight.

@MetOpera bombs with Ainadamar. The sound design was so awful, with amplification worse than a Middle School musical in Peoria, makes me question trusting anything this house does. Canned music at the Met? Travesty.

@mikeirons12 Since I firmly believe that everything pre-1830 belongs to the Classical Era, and everything post-1905 belongs to the Modern Era, that leaves me with: Mahler 1, 2, 3 Tchaikovsky 5, 6 Liszt, Faust Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique And that’s it. Can’t even get to 10.

It seems that the “adults in the room” keep blaming the @FTC for tilting at windmills even though they JUST KEEP WINNING. The hipsters are on the right side of history, economics and the law.
