Which is better, Netflix or Paramount? The answer is neither. The film and television industry is already overly consolidated. The states must work together to block this merger because it will be very difficult (if not impossible) to unwind it down the road.

Apple lost in court, lost on appeal, and was denied cert by SCOTUS. Then it tried to dodge the rules anyway - with deceptive workarounds and executive testimony the judge called “not credible.” Enough is enough. 1/6

I sometimes let my books "cure" so long that I forget I own them. It's a problem. But not one I intend to fix.

No amount of “404 Not Found” will wipe their bravery and achievement off the record. They were the Women Airforce Service Pilots and they will not be forgotten.

If you think businesses should not engage in property destruction or espionage, then you already think that the antitrust laws are about fair competition. For more on this point, read the latest paper by @tarap.bsky.social and me. 👇 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It's the same with the gig economy. If paying your workers a decent wage will make your business unprofitable, then maybe you shouldn't be in that business in the first place.

Today, @tarap.bsky.social argues that the government's meager enforcement of price-fixing laws - including its failure to sue the landlords involved in the recent RealPage scandal - has created an environment where business see the risk of collusion as worth the reward.

I took a pottery class and my first piece left the kiln with a giant hole in the bottom. When my mom visited the other day, I offered her my misshapen “planter pot” as a gift. She rejected it and said she’d wait "until you have a bit more practice.” I’m devastated!
