The FTC has the authority to prevent mergers and acquisitions. Now, I am not saying that previous administrations always did their due diligence in this department because they demonstrably have not. But one would assume that an alleged protectionist government would be loath to allow gigantic corporations to be divvied up amongst foreign parties.

Why are you running cover for people that who literally don't care about 80% of the population? Are you a board member or something? Such weird righteous indignation about protecting people who have materially made society worse.
