"if you haven't paid close attention to…antitrust law since the late 1970s, all of this might feel mysterious…worse, you might mistake the cause for the effect: regulators keep making corrupt choices, so regulation itself is impossible. This is like the artists' rights advocate who says, 'artists' incomes keep falling, so we need more copyright'—in mistaking the effect for the cause, both blame the system, rather than the corporate power that…corrupted it." @pluralistic https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/05/eldritch-physics/
