You've Been Lied to About Inflation
Angry about airfares? Airlines merged from 12 carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Upset about grocery prices? 3 companies control 70% of grocery sales in 167 cities.
Mad about drug prices? A handful of drug companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Monopolies are the problem.

Wow we had a dozen airlines in 80. Dam Al Quada. Why couldn’t you just be regular terrorists.
Monopolies are the problem.

I just learned that Safeway/Albertson's is trying to merge with QFC/Kroger/Fred Meyer, to make one GIANT grocery chain store.
Can you fucking believe this shit?
I don't know where this proposed merger is at, but it must be stopped!

Scorched earth deregulation, rather than targeted and timely deregulation is the problem. Not having a Congress that actually can pass an agenda is also a problem. This is why the EU is currently taking the front foot when it comes to regulating the internet and privacy.

The judiciary will stop this. There are laws against monopolies.

R6, the EU is why we have incessant notifications for cookie acceptance across the Internet. Even after even EU regulators agree it does nothing but annoy. Front foot, indeed.

Interesting that you blame the regulator and not the tech companies for coming up with a solution. Google abandoned their cookie free browser due to advertising industry pressure this week.

Big business has the politicians dancing on whatever strings they pull.

I'd love to see Kamala take this issue HEAD ON.
But you know she won't.
None of these politicians will.
They're all beholden to corporate America.

Once again, the European trash forces us to click on the stupid warnings, they just can't stay in Europe and not bother anyone.
