The Biden Presidency

They are currently setting up tents calling for a second holocaust and begging people to pay off their loans they can't get jobs from

As I said: Mission Accomplished. The future is ours.

At least you're finally seeing your profession as the joke that the rest of the country sees

[nsacpi]

We are very serious and purposeful about indoctrinating the next generation of commies.

[sturg33]

We are fully aware

[nsacpi]

Y'all will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

The one saving grace that gives me hope is how ****ing stupid the academic class is, and how retarded they have turned their students into

A stupid, weak and pathetic enemy

[sturg33]

Haha the nutjob lunatics are masked like the lecturer recommends!

[Runnin]

Colin Jost was NOT funny. His comedic timing was terrible and that long pause after each joke failed to land was very awkward.

[sturg33]

Thankfully we have since learned it is our greatest strength

The effects of diversity is actually a field with a lot of interesting research.

In my experience, exclusivity is much greater than inclusion. But you are free to open your home to the wonderful world of inclusive diversity

April 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Monday sued to block Coach parent Tapestry's (TPR.N) $8.5 billion deal to buy Michael Kors owner Capri (CPRI.N), saying it would eliminate "direct head-to-head competition" between the flagship brands of the two luxury handbag makers.

"The proposed merger threatens to deprive millions of American consumers of the benefits of Tapestry and Capri's head-to-head competition, which includes competition on price, discounts and promotions, innovation, design, marketing and advertising," the FTC said.

The U.S. luxury market is highly fragmented with several differentiated brands catering to a wide range of consumers, antitrust experts said, arguing that legacy fashion brands typically face healthy competition from labels launched every year.

"The FTC's decision to sue is surprising because there's no shortage of competition for fashion, apparel and accessories. The commission has latched onto a marketing term - 'accessible luxury' - and treats it like a unique market that exists in a vacuum," said Howard Hogan, chair of the fashion, retail and consumer practice at law firm Gibson Dunn.

Of all the unqualified charlatans nominated to positions by Biden, I think I’d give the championship belt to Lina Khan leading the FTC.

The movement of younger black males to Trump is real.

[sturg33]

pathetically irresponsible

[sturg33]

Because, you see, were not actually a republic anymore. The DEMOCRACY defenders are too stupid to see we don't actually have a say in anything. We are ruled by tyrants... the for real kind

A better place to focus antitrust resources is the healthcare industry where there has been an enormous amount of consolidation. To the detriment of the consumer.

https://wapo.st/3WqVRsZ

The leaders in that sector seem to view the airline industry as an appropriate model. Quote from the CEO of a large healthcare company: "It is no secret how far the consolidation curve the hospital sector is compared to others, such as airlines." That was about 10 years ago. They have certainly been moving fast toward the "airlines model."

Btw it is a lot cheaper flying around Europe than around this country thanks to the EU having an antitrust policy that has not allowed the consolidation we've seen in this country.

If antitrust policy is to err, I'd rather it err on the side of excessive aggression than passivity.
