"The leader of the party of consumers and taxpayers argued against a measure to increase competition and lower prices because it might upset incumbent capital. In that single statement, the party’s modern priority was laid bare: protecting established businesses now trumps the creation of competitive markets for consumers. The 'consumer' in the party’s name has been forgotten entirely."

A quotation from Molly Ivins

   Seems to me it’s a simple concept — the concentration of wealth is a Bad Idea. Since capital tends to concentrate, it is one of the functions of government to oppose this tendency. That’s why we used to have antimonopoly laws and the like.
   When you see government encouraging the concentration of wealth, check your wallet.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1991-02), “Season of Drear,” The Progressive

"The Commerce Commission has calculated the supermarket duopoly extracts $1m in excess profits every day – profits, in other words, above and beyond those they would make in a competitive market. That $1m a day comes straight out of shoppers’ wallets."

"Maybe, something like this [anti-genocide boycotts] will shame this will scare, or shame ... festivals or companies or whatever into making more ethical choices.

I mean, this is before we even get onto the antitrust case that the US DoJ is taking against TicketMaster and Live Nation, which is next March I think that starts. Big money is never clean."

“Indeed, the death of #journalism and #publisher isn’t just due to the “internet,” it’s likely a murder by Google.”

Then Facebook starting selling ads… and created a cartel?
“ #google ’s response was to form a cartel with Facebook where Facebook would get better terms in Google auctions than anyone else in return for Facebook no longer seeking to compete in open auctions.”

"The essence of antitrust law is to try to keep the system working by recognizing that, at certain points, some companies may get too big for their own good, they're self-imploding, or the technology may become so dominant that it's just crushing all other elements where there can be innovation." - Judge Leonie Brinkema, 2023, United States v. Google LLC

> #enshittification as defined by the person who coined it

Phrased concisely as:

"Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification."

:boost_ok: 🇺🇲 Good and straightforward article by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) on the silent harms of market concentration in the U.S. -> "Increasingly, elected government isn’t making the decisions most critical to the lives of ordinary Americans. Instead, those decisions are made by monopoly or near-monopoly companies, who have so much power as to be nearly immune from government touch [...]" #antimonopoly #BigTech #faircompetition https://www.chrismurphyct.com/p/monopoly-power-is-crushing-the-soul

"Step Right Up! Bargains Galore.."

comes to mind:

> where prices go up as quality goes down

> It’s hard to remember that the internet was originally supposed to connect producers and shoppers, artists and audiences, and members of communities with one another without permission or control by third parties.
