  1. #Democracy is incompatible with unrestrained #capitalism. #Monopolies powered the #Nazi war machine 85 years ago.

    General public knows that #CorporatePower is a big, rising, and terrifying problem. But regulators don't seem to know what corporate power is.

    On #antitrust, the #EU buckled to #US under both #GeorgeBush (#Microsoft breakup) and #GeorgeWBush (#GE #Honeywell merger).

    Now a new revolt against monopolization is brewing in #Europe.

  4. The #Enshittification of the American Hamburger
    China blocked Argentinian beef for chloramphenicol, Europe blocked Brazilian beef for food safety reasons, and now Trump is importing it all to the US. But don't expect prices to fall much, the monopoly distributers will pocket the savings.

  9. The idea that the gross over investment in technology is the solution to all our problems, is delusional on the grandest scale of delusions!

    Also used as an argument to secure its boom is that new technology like Ai and AGi is inevitable and necessary to obtain a competitive advantage.

    What is not much advertised, discussed, challenged and acted on are the current social, environmental, political and economic costs of the deregulated markets responsible for pushing the MAD investments of and in the technology of antitrust monopolies. They continue to undermine the benefits that result from democratic mediation, rights of diverse interests, peace, security, wellbeing and the flourishing that you get with ending the growth in inequality and injustice that their corporate sovereignty profits from! #Philosophy #Technology #ai #AGi #deregulation #Markets #MAD #antitrust #monopolies #corporatesovereignty #Delusions

    A deep dive into 'the financials' & concerns about the pending merger of Paramount and Warner. Global Implications for #media, #movies, #monopolies, #politics & #CNN

    > A judge just froze Paramount’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery for 14 days. California and 11 other states argue the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would reduce competition in theatrical films, major blockbusters, and basic cable programming.

  15. Predictions are cable prices across the country will increase with consolidation in media/TV markets, and service providers (DirecTV) agree!

    FCC approves the merger of local television giants Nexstar and Tegna, the same day that two lawsuits trying to block the deal were announced.

    The $6.2B deal will create a company that owns 265 television stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, most of them local affiliates of ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.

    The Lawsuit argues the merger has run afoul of federal laws designed to protect against monopolies, and was filed in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia. apnews.com/article/nextstar-te #TV #Cable #Television #Nexstar #Tegna #FCC #Media #Lawsuit #MediaMerger #AntiTrust #ABC #CBS #NBC #FOX #DirecTV #CableTV #Monopolies
