    _Looks at Anti Trust legislation that was passed over a hundred years ago and scratches head.

    Sherman Act 1880 Clayton Act 1914 Federal Trade Commission Act 1914_

    We don’t need new laws, we need people appointed to the FTC who will enforce the law more aggressively.

      Yeah, and what happened to that legislation? Businesses bought the right politicians and defanged everything that inhibited their profits. Businesses have their thumbs on the scale making sure the FTC doesn’t have the right people to be a threat.
