    What a misleading article. It feels like they had to try as hard as possible to make it seem like A both sides issues, but their one example of a democrat doing this is Robert reich writing an article for the guardian saying Elon musk should be jailed. Neither of which are running for political office.

    To me it seems like there is something they’re scared of, otherwise they’d just let the courts handle it instead passing legislation to retroactively try and get the entire lawsuit thrown out. 🤷‍♂️

    We need to be passing consumer protection legislation to make companies stop doing things like this. Just "calling on them" to end the process isn't going to do anything to fix the problem. Companies have no incentive to do the right thing for their customers. The only thing they care about is short term profit.

    I still need chips to do that. But even with chips on the sandwich, i'd need them on the side also. Otherwise, I'm still just eating a sandwich and for some reason it makes me uncomfortable and likely to stop eating after just a few bites.

    They talk about broken promises and misrepresentation of what they would do after the merger. Corporations aren’t people and don’t have morals to stop them from breaking promises or just flat out lying. The only way they will do anything is if it makes them money or they are forced (regulated)
