Agree. The FTC doesn’t seem to have any teeth lately, and the divided government in Washington usually does not help things get done faster, either.

I would suggest you read Matt Stoller’s blog on substack (“Big”) for a more optimistic view of US governmental anti-trust efforts. He is covering Amazon due to recent actions.
Paywalled ;-). Sorry I refuse to pay for Substacks… I signed up for the “occasional” ones.
I dunno – it’s hard to be optimistic about antitrust in any event. Even if they happen, counting on the government to get it right in this environment is quite a stretch 
If you sign up for the email newsletter you get most of the content for free, but no ability to comment. That’s what I do.
