    What exactly does that mean? I thought you had anti-monopoly laws?

      Those are actually just for show. We’ve let like 3 companies buy up all of our grocery stores too.

      We’re finding out that anywhere our laws say the government can hold rich people accountable or rich people should do something it actually means they can just do whatever they want. Even the hard line laws like price collusion have gone unenforced for decades now. And now that there is an (a single) enforcement action, it’s a civil suit that’s not even threatening to cost them more than they made.
