My girl Lina explaining antitrust law in such a way that a regular citizen should be able to understand it. There is a reason why I was never a big fan of the Chicago school. Too big too care is a nice description of an oligopol with only two or three players.
Something I kinda wonder: If the antitrust wave results in the breakup of hell-monopolies like the big social media tyrants or the Disney empire, do you think there’d be a case to go for EA next?
Like, I’m legit asking, is there a legal case to be made there? They’re so known for acquiring studios to devour and kill them that they’re nicknamed “Unicronic Arts” for chrissakes, it seems like there’s something there! Politics side of Tumblr help me out here!
