What the hell do the antitrust people in the US do? Google should have been chopped to bits a decade ago and Microsoft buying Github is just nonsense. Way too much potential for abuse all around.

Nothing apparently. We've stopped caring. If it's not about getting rich right now in this lifetime then it's not worth doing. I'm also convinced governments have realised monopolies are good for them. You don't need a big government if you control the few massive corporations everyone has to use.

  • You're giving the government too much credit. They're not even that competent at malice. It's the large companies that control it by lobbying, not the other way around.
