Netflix? Paramount? Both are terrible options and presumptively illegal

Many thanks to @ivehaditpodcast for the conversation about the major red flags posed by these proposed mergers and why our @FTC work taking on corporate abuse had such broad public support across the political spectrum.

You have two bids for Warner brothers. Both are illegal. The fact that one deal is extremely illegal doesn’t make the other deal legal

For decades, policymakers claimed that letting Walmart extract special deals from suppliers would lower prices. So they stopped enforcing the Robinson-Patman Act — wiping out many small retailers. Now the evidence is telling a very different story.

Here's former FTC Chair @linamkhan on @AdamFriedland talking about consolidation in agriculture. When chicken farmers only have one or two buyers like Tyson, those companies can rig prices and control everything.

The last thing people need is junk fees that inflate their bills and subscription traps that keep them stuck paying for services they don’t want. Terrific to see Mayor Mamdani get right to work challenging abusive practices that make daily life even more expensive.

The @NYCMayor administration is suing Radiant Solar for preying on New Yorkers. The firm is charged with signing people up for hefty loans without their consent, installing solar panels that didn’t work, and damaging their homes along the way. Terrific to see the City step up to protect Americans...
