Can we focus on the cost of food and housing before entertainment?
He's doing that too.
I'm sure some conservative brainworm judge will block this somehow just like when the Biden admin tried to cap credit card late fees. This country won't be fixed until the only way judges can receive RVs as bribes is if they end up under the tires.
Been calling that this would happen in 2024 (election year) for 3 years now. It's the one thing all Americans agree on. But no matter the reason it's a good thing. Hopefully something actually happens.
Finally. They listened! I'm so glad they finally are tackling this important problem. It is far more important than starving millions of people in a foreign country to support genocidal fascists.
Yes! I’m so glad the Biden administration decided that they can only tackle one issue at a time!111ii1!
And nobody was ever hurt by a monopoly!!! Let’s abandon all regulations and become ancaps!!!
Support small indie bands. No need for big businesses crap.
I've clicked on this thumbnail twice thinking it was some weird fish.
It is though?
weird fish
Fetish
If it's not dismantling that god forsaken monopoly, it's not enough.
That is what they're doing though.
Thank god they're focusing on the real issues
I don't go to concerts and don't really personally care that much about ticket prices, but even from that position, antitrust issues are pretty much a real issue.
I do think that the framing of antitrust action as being specifically driven by the political layer is maybe obnoxious. The overwhelming bulk of federal Executive Branch activity is done by people who do not change from administration and whose actions do not change. A few people at the top whose job is oversight of them do change, but that drives a very small part of what the government does.
You might not be able to afford bread, but at least you'll get circuses.
It feels like a bid to buy young people's votes back. I pray our youth are not so shallow.
Hasn't this been in the works for over a year now, with the congressional hearing a while back?
Feels pretty bad if 2/4 years of stuff doesn't count.
Just add it on top of women's and lbgtq rights and suddenly it sounds less shallow.
I'm as cynical as the next guy... But i feel like an administration that is willing to enforce antitrust laws (even if it is just for votes) is a good thing
I said the same before when they were playing with marijuana laws. People didn't like it and even said things like "I want my politicians to do things for votes."
Then a couple weeks later, the administration reversed course.
It's just one perpetual mindfuck. I dont want to live on this planet anymore.
