This is such an important point to make, and the reason Biden brought chip manufacturing back to the US. COVID made this issue abundantly obvious. Industry consolidation can make things cheaper but it also creates choke points in our economy. Right now we have a weakened, on purpose, self inflicted, anti trust department. This may make manufacturers richer but it impoverishes the country and devastates our economy. Why running a government, whose focus is on the country’s well being and balancing the power dynamics in a capitalist economy, is nothing like running a company. We have let capitalism and its values take over our government with crippling results. First let’s neuter Citizens United.

I’m frustrated that Feenstra Ernst and Grassley are not speaking out about human rights violations by ICE and the rest of our government. This is not what our justice system is supposed to look like
