      Late stage capitalism has been feeding on itself for about a decade now in it’s unquenchable need for unsustainable growth/metastasis.

      Antitrust laws, Schmantitrust-laws, just legalize political bribery and capture the regulators so we can get DisneyBlueCrossDiscoveryActivisionWholeFoodsAmazonMicrosoftKellogsCigna Plus Max demanding any price they want for enshittified shadows of former products and services having swallowed their competition whole as was the point, because where you gonna go you fucking suckers?

      Anyone who has played Monopoly should know, the goal of capitalism is to end competition and become the board’s one true landlord. We have entire economic sectors with 2-3 players now.

      Really no reason to allow any corporation of publically traded scale to merge with another one from the perspective of consumers, only private investors for private speculative investment profit(aka gambling, often with loaded insider info dice), but here we are.
