Dear God it fucking better.
It’s like antitrust doesn’t actually fucking exist anymore.
Lina Khan has made a good start, but she often feels like a modern Sisyphus, endlessly pushing the stone up the hill.
Lina Khan is a breath of fresh air and she seems to get the pro-big business people really worked up, so she must be doing something right! I wish the Overton Window was in a better location so she could do her thing.

“Too big to fail”? Sounds like they should be broken up into smaller companies then.
Ah sorry, by “too big to fail” we actually meant “entitled to free money forever”
I wish they would go after the things I have no or little choice in. isp comes top of mind.
Health insurance. UnitedHealth has a blatant vertical monopoly that needs to be dealt with.
To add info, Optum is owned by United. So, you could see your provider at an Optum Clinic, get a prescription from OptumRx, pay your co-pays with your OptumBank HSA, and, of course, your insurance is from United Health. So, literally no part of that interaction left the UnitedHealth ecosystem. And they claimed a profit from every single one of those interactions.
It’s why I laugh at grocery stores trying the propaganda of, “Well we need to pay this much to that and this and that” as if they don’t own a huge chunk of that vertical chain
