I remember seeing this commercial. I knew back then that it was horseshit.

"This is what happens when the government lets companies swallow the completion (the latest being Sprint). We have antitrust laws in the country that are being ignored and ultimately the consumer loses," a New York resident told the FCC.

YES. The government needs to stop rubber-stamping these enormous mergers.

The government is actually helpless to stop these mergers (see Lina Khan). It’s the courts, which Republicans have been packing for decades.
