This actually **IS** a massive problem, though not like you might think - with sub sandwiches
The USA used to have effective anti-monopoly laws. It is how mega rich robber barons were kept in check re railroads, shipping, etc... ...in the best interest of our citizens and our economy.
Bell telephone was broken into manageable pieces. Pricing and service along with customers are the beneficiaries.
same with the economy and innovation..
NOW we have the same sort of issue with todays robber barons; the CEOs of the 20-30 or so corporations...
...one in particular that is causing MASSIVE problems - like trying to genocide white people. Thats right Larry Fink of Blackrock. Blackrock has entirely too much control when you consider they control the executive boards of over 80% of companies in the S&P 500..
Fink is worth... wait for it... $10 trillion
and controls vastly more countries than ANYONE in the history of the earth should EVER be allowed.
Lately, there are efforts to keep this man from framing politicians, setting horrific propaganda against Americans, and controlling the US government to one extent or another - you know how I fee about all of this.
The monopoly laws were designed to keep individual from such levels of control
from such levels of danger to our populace; and frankly, to his populace itself also.
Question was asked here days ago about what first steps should be taken after the presidential election.
1A. Cease using psy ops against Americans. Obama EO'd this in 2012 (sure he was asked to do so by the globalist cabal and the CIA shadow 'deep state'
1B. Resolve to work through a revamp of sensible anti-monopoly laws in order to help prevent the scourge that currently plagues us
2. Install a set of laws RE-establish the Bill of Eights and any relevant issues
simultaneously
love y'all some Larry Fink destroying the USA, no?
Will you now work against my freedom to express it?

Now do the media and high tech companies. Thats where the real harm comes from.

You don't have a link that supports your assertion that black rock controls the boards of 80% of the S&P 500?

I don’t understand why this board laughs at things like this. Consolidation of major industries into small cartels that collude rather than compete is a huge threat to capitalism. While I don’t trust Elizabeth Warren to propose the proper solution to the death of competition in the American marketplace, it IS a real problem. Teddy Roosevelt led the charge for busting up monopolies over 100 years ago, and our government has done a complete 180 on this since at least the Clinton Administration. Where there were once hundreds of news media companies competing for your attention, there are now mostly just 5. It’s even more egregious in consumer products. Unilever, Johnson & Johnson secretly own almost every brand of anything at the grocery store. Your processed food has about 5 actual companies making 90% of the branded products you consume. Your food is almost exclusively grown from monsanto seeds on corporate farms.
Consolidation is a big problem which is often driven by regulatory capture. We should be breaking up monopolies, not laughing at someone drawing attention to the fact that the number 1 and number 4, 5, and 6th sized brands are merging, giving them 54% of the market.
Don’t forget, this same brand also owns Church’s, Burger King, and Popeyes.

I'm pretty sure the FTC has and is going after Google, Meta and Amazon. I think the Amazon case is pretty significant.

Or tell them FU and go somewhere else.

I wonder how she felt about this issue when she was making a fortune as legal counsel for huge corporations.

I dont. I just think a sandwich shop is far more innocuous than high tech companies or media consolidations.

Apparently not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time is a virtue.

Does she really think that they can jack up sammich prices and consumers will just pay it?
Equating a club sammich with utilities is such a liberal logic thing....

BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street effectively control each other—and their market competitors. The Clayton Act was made for situations like this.

Well, that explains why I don't like McAlister or Jimmyjohns. Didn't know they were all the same.

Who controls enforcement of the Clayton Act?
Who controls efforts to curb monopolies?
The answers to these questions will show how much danger this country is in

All three of those shops suck arse.
As long as they leave Firehouse Subs alone, I couldn't give a rat's arse.
