The US Government hasn't given a shit about harmful monopolistic practices in a long time. They only pretend to care from time to time to force large companies to start donating to politicians.
"A long time" would be "Since Trump got back in", since Biden's administration was actually doing a lot to tackle monopolies. They just did a shit job of advertising what they were doing.
Right, because the single anti-trust action against Microsoft in the 90s is definitely all that was justified during the rise of the tech giants.
the biden admin was not in the 90s. look up Lina Khan.
Okay? My point is that it's absurd to say that the USFG has been hard on monopolies until Trump's second term.
