Some say that Netflix’s deal to buy Warner Bros. deserves support because Paramount would be an even worse buyer. “But you can’t run a rule-based system that way,” Tim Wu writes. “Either merger would be bad for the country, and both should be challenged by antitrust authorities.”

Gee Donnie, how come businesses are able to figure out how to manage WIC across 50 states with different rules? How come businesses can figure out how to manage taxes at a state (and sometimes local) level? How do distillers, brewers and vintners do business with different alcohol laws per state?

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS
