☆ Lina Khan likely to be fired as FTC Chair under a Trump presidency
  + stars: | 2024-11-12 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Representatives for Trump’s transition team and the FTC didn’t respond to requests for comment. Wall Street, which has been on a tear since Trump’s decisive victory last week, appears to be ready to turn the page on the Khan era. Similarly, the FTC has gone after Big Tech, Big Pharma and even Big Mattress in the name of keeping competition robust. To them, Khan and her DOJ partner in trustbusting, Jonathan Kanter, represent a threat to the bottom line. Since last week’s election, both Kroger and Albertsons shares have risen sharply as investors anticipate the deal would face little resistance under Trump’s FTC.

☆ Biden’s Antitrust Team Isn’t Backing Down From a Fight

Regulators under administrations dating to President Lyndon Johnson have set out new guidelines, which serve largely as a matter of policy intent because they are not enforced by law. But the sweeping proposals introduced by Lina Khan, the F.T.C. The guidelines broaden the scope for evaluating deals. The regulators say that current laws are not fit for the contemporary age. (Critics of this approach argue that it is nearly impossible to know what threat young technologies may pose in the future.)

☆ It’s official: Silicon Valley’s entire business model is a scam
  + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( Adam Rogers | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
The problem is, conservative economists at the University of Chicago have spent the past 50 years insisting that under capitalism, predatory pricing is not a thing. Predatory companies could never recoup their losses, which meant predatory behaviors are irrational. Lots of economists have come up with solid counter-counterarguments to the Chicago School's skepticism about predatory pricing. A company that engages in predatory pricing and its late-stage investors might not recoup, but the venture investors do. "If people in Silicon Valley start thinking about this as a predatory pricing scam, then I think the late-stage investors will start asking questions."

☆ Elizabeth Warren leads cavalry into deal battles
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( Jonathan Guilford | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
It would be the third curious regulatory intervention in recent weeks, each encouraged by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren. In a September letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Warren argued that the DOT should use its own tools, specifically in the Spirit situation. UnitedHealth (UNH.N) beat back a federal lawsuit against its plan to buy Change Healthcare; Facebook owner Meta Platforms (META.O) shrugged off an FTC attempt to stop its purchase of fitness app developer Within. JetBlue says it built time for a lawsuit into the Spirit merger agreement. As the senator charges up the competition cavalry, dealmakers may have to redraw their battle plans.
