The US has laws against monopolies and trusts.

Those laws have been nerfed since the Ronald Reagan / Robert Bork / Consumer Welfare Standard takeover. We should un-nerf the anti-trust laws.

Yep, and heck, on occasion we even enforce them.

When we do, it can be pretty effective.

I just wish we did so more frequently, and, more importantly, that the consumer welfare principle hadn't emerged as the prevalent antitrust standard.
