“ America’s largest meat producers are reportedly fixing prices. Tyson, Hormel, and Cargill are using a little-known technology—Agri Stats—to share secret data and make your groceries more expensive. It’s one of the biggest conspiracies in corporate history.”

While I will be voting for Kamala, I am skeptical of expanding the #childTaxCredit again (especially to such a high amount and to such a wide range of people).
If we don’t start properly enforcing #antitrust laws, what is to stop this extra pool of money from being inflationary?
To address poverty, it would be better to focus on labor rights and raising the minimum wage (while using #antitrustLaws to keep prices in check). I prefer to earn enough from my job vs from the #government. #inflation

State-level "abuse of dominance" #AntitrustLaws could impose stricter regulations than federal requirements, hindering efficient business practices and innovation. #Tech companies, despite their popularity, may face costly regulations impacting workers, consumers, and businesses.
The high cost of compliance and legal uncertainties from state-level #AntitrustLaws could deter investments and slow economic growth by 4.4% over the next decade. The stakes are high for businesses, workers, and consumers alike. https://buff.ly/3XvfyjC
A new study from CCIA’s Research Center finds that state-level #AntitrustLaws could cost the U.S. a 4.4% GDP loss of $1.7 trillion and 3.5 million fewer jobs over the next decade. The economic impacts are profound and far-reaching. https://buff.ly/4csoAT0
State-level #AntitrustLaws may lower the threshold for lawsuits, flooding businesses with costly litigation and deterring operations. This could spell trouble for the #Tech industry and the broader economy. https://buff.ly/3RyjxIF

@ExTradersGlobal We should be enforcing #antiTrustLaws to #fightInflation instead of having high interest rates.

@jackofalltrades Instead of raising #interestRates we should be using #antiTrustLaws to break up #monopolies and #oligopolies to rein in #inflation. On top of that for the national debt we ought to reduce military spending, increase taxes on the most profitable corporations, and significantly increase taxes on the ultra wealthy. Increasing the working class’s income (and reducing #unemployment) would also help. #taxTheRich #taxOligarchs #fiscalPolicy #UnitedStates
@annhattan We still haven’t gone far enough away from #Reaganomics … we should be using #antitrustLaws more often to encourage #priceCompetition and to #fightInflation . #Biden has proposed stronger merger guidelines for when mergers should not be allowed; he should also propose better guidelines for when #monopolies and #oligopolies should be broken up (as many industries are too consolidated) . #inflation #economy #antitrust
@pivoinebleue@mstdn.social I hope #Biden doubles down on using #antitrustLaws to #fightInflation … he has proposed stronger merger rules/guidelines but I’d also like to see him vocal about using #antitrust laws to break up existing #monopolies and #oligopolies to increase #priceCompetition and fight #inflation .
@toussaint #Biden is far from perfect on the #economy but he helped prevent a much worse #economicCrisis following the #Covid19Shutdowns . There has been fifty plus years of #industryConsolidation that has helped set the stage for #monopolies and #oligopolies ( #cartels ) to be able to set #ExcessivelyHighPrices and make #RecordProfits . We should use #antiTrustLaws to #fightInflation and Biden shouldn’t be so quiet on his (previous ?) #CampaignPromise to #RaisetheMinimumWage .
@sspopovich @rbreich By #RaisingInterestRates #JeromePowell and the #FederalReserve ARE fighting wage growth. Instead of excessively raising interest rates we should use #antiTrustLaws to #breakUpMonopolies (and cartels) to #fightInflation . As a start, I’m glad #Biden has proposed new merger rules: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-antitrust-merger-guidelines_n_64b7032ae4b0dcb4cab5eac6
@MariaHill @TonyStark I was pleasantly surprised by #Biden proposing new merger / #antiTrust rules to help tackle #CorporateConsolidation . In my view such changes are a safer way to handle #inflation long term. I would like to see even more changes when it comes to #antiTrustLaws and enforcement (but this is a welcome first step!). https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-antitrust-merger-guidelines_n_64b7032ae4b0dcb4cab5eac6
