We were stuck in the Gilded Age for decades before Roosevelt came along and started big trust-busting efforts. I expect a similar situation to play out here. We're probably in the middle of it in retrospect.

Maybe - or is this closer to the naked theft we saw out of the collapse of the Soviet Union? That's still playing out...
Al Franken has related the difficulty he had convincing Democrats and Bernie Sanders to sign on to fighting the Comcast Time-Warner merger until they determined it was beneficial to themselves to oppose it.
Do you have a source for that? I'm curious to learn more about how hard it was to convince Sanders that the merger was a bad idea.
