        Yes. Almost every single antitrust suit brought by the DOJ has been successful.

          Fines them 1 days worth of profit and tells them to stop isn’t really successful. That’s like me winning a civil suit but being out more money than I started with because of lawyer fees. Like yeah I won technically buy in the long run I lost.

    I hope they remember to bring their teeth. Tired of the JD trying to gum these companies to death.

      The current people doing antitrust seem quite serious about breaking up monopolistic companies.

        SCOTUS asks ‘why are you hurting such a fine company, don’t they have a right to sell tickets they way they want to, FREEDOM’.

        Can you list any examples of monopolies that have been broken up since Biden took office?

    Sadly the de-regulatory push since the 80s has taken much of the teeth from regulators. That and recent supreme court rulings and the overall business friendliness of the court makes anti-trust hard to pursuit by even the best intentioned regulators.

    Anyone else remember when they tried the same thing in 1995 with Pearl Jam leading the charge?
