I never had an opinion on for-profit healthcare until i started working in non-profit healthcare, and now i can say with 100% certainty that for-profit healthcare is 180 degrees counter to providing actual healthcare and needs to be banned.

If the DOJ did their job more often, perhaps a certain fortune 5 for profit heath services company wouldn’t be the mess it is

This stuff coming out now and possibly having findings and fines by November would be quite good.

Good luck getting yanked from the App Store.

FTC finds the smoking gun behind higher food prices… big grocery companies got greedy.
“Large grocery retailers took advantage of supply chain disruptions to beat out smaller rivals and protect their profits during the pandemic… The report found that some large firms “accelerated and distorted” the effects of supply chain snarls… Food and beverage retailers… posted strong profits during the height of the pandemic and continue to do so today…”

Update: Trump Media's merger partner saw its shares plunge 13% today. Given Trump's stake, that's about a $457 million one-day loss. And it's paper money; Trump can't sell his shares unless he gets a lockup waiver, which is very rare and could tank the stock even further. I explain all here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/techn...iamerger-vote/

Thank god Eric holder sued to prevent 3M and Avery from cornering the market on post its.


(and before anyone says anything, this isn't me being sour about that. It's me being sour that ****ing post its were enough to sue to stop the merger but we can't keep health insurance, media, and defense companies from having oligopolies or monopolies.)

Yeah it is an interesting choice, seems more like they are doing it as a warning shot to other companies that the DOJ is not going to let you get too big. Almost like a threat of what could come if they are in power next year. The US has been alarmingly lax in their Anti-Trust regulating (especially of Tech) since Microsoft and this might be a sign that is about to change.

Anti-Trust cases breed competition. Hell half of Apple's power right now (due to the IPjone) is in part because of the Ma Bell breakup. Time to get back to keeping the Big Boys in line.

(of course they are doing this also to deflect from their abject failures in other areas of criminal justice)

I didn't read past the headline, but the government is suing Apple.

It's an interesting decision because the way the US is setup right now you have to be really really really bad to get charged for monopilizing your company.

The thing is you have to be consistent about it. You can't can't say "Tik Tok is evil" but then say "Twitter is tots cool!". Either all of them are dangerous or none are.

And Clown while the bill is called a Tok Tok ban (which it isn't) it would apply to any that have the same issue if I read the analysis correctly.
