It’s not their own courts. But federal and state attorneys will sue the merger deal on antitrust grounds. So the judges are either federal or state appellate judges that hear the arguments. The trend in the past 40ish years to allow the merger because of the consumer good arguments.

And yet, we are going back to that same idea. What caused those companies to break up? Oh yeah, law were made. Why did were the laws made? Because a lot of union work stoppages and protests were happening across the country.

For consumers. It the justification given to allow mergers that feel like monopolies to occur. The companies put up the argument that the combined companies will provide better goods or services to consumers then as competitors and the judges sign off on it.

When are we going to prove whether or not consolidation of industries are good for consumers? Do we have enough data on this question since Milton Freedman passed?

How are they so dumb? You never handle the money yourself. Especially for politics, where campaign finance laws come into play. Especially in the house floor, where there are tons of cameras to ask questions. At least do it in the bathroom.

Also, “innocent into prove guilty” only comes into play during the trial. Investigations happen before then to determine if a trial is needed.

Well, those in power to check the executive branch want more distractions from the Trump Epstein file. As more of them are released, more of the public know how one sided the two party system really is. Trump gets the added excuse to restrict elections since “we’re at war”

Good thing we don’t have any services that have a similar name.

Anymore

And look it must’ve been time for it.

Which is owned by Microslop and has issues about every 3 months.

So evidence of all the people we suspected. It’s not very newsworthy since it’s not new.

Because businesses that use .NET are already paying for it with their visual studio subscription or higher Microsoft support. It’s a bare minimum product that has no incentive to improve because no one pays for it. But businesses force the use of it because “we’re already paying for it”

This is why we all need to talk with our friends, families, and even co-workers to get out and vote. Most voter turnout rates I’ve seen are 60-70%. There has too be more sane people outside of the cult.

Automation and AI have the potential to put lots of people into unemployment in the next 20 years. For the sake of preventing that unemployment, it’d be good if people had fewer kids. Yet for some reason, governments struggle really hard to comprehend that simple connection.

Because they assume all people will be consumers of goods. So if they have more people, there will be more consumers to buy things.

Now the assumption falls apart in any rigor since automation means that less people are needed for labor and would have money to buy gods. But that requires a government that thinks beyond the limited lifetimes of those running the government.

In an ideal world I think data center waste heat would be captured for use in a district thermal grid / seasonal thermal energy store like the one in Vantaa.

Yes, this would be the ideal for dealing with that issue. Re-use that heat to generate some of the energy the data center is demanding.

Imagine there’s an engineering & physics issue to be solved. But where would we find those top talent people to solve it?

I’ll care about cat breeds when my cat starts showing that she cares about anything.

I would also include the death of the “third place”. Because even if you work enough to survive, where do you spend your time outside of the home with other people in your community without spending money? Even worse options if you want kids allowed.

One of the only places I know of is the library. But I’d be very surprised by an 8-10 year old boy spending their time at the library.

What did he expect to happen?

That’s like complaining about someone punching back after you sucker-punched them.

Well, it is a “sin” to emphasize with others.

How to get a lawyer to investigate…

That’s the odd thing about the stock market. Its value of a company is not on how much money it makes. That seems like something an efficient market would be able to determine.
