I misunderstood the original post. It would be an effective way to enforce an increased minimum wage even if there is no legislation codifying a wage hike

But only at the state-run grocery stores in the Marxist Caliphate of NYC. We don’t need yet another government program handing money (this time in the form of free labor) to corporations

What law would the judge have been ignoring?

If immigration judges don’t have power to assess cases based on their constitutional merit, what heuristic do they use?

Since American tech companies have focused on reducing their engineering headcount, offshoring jobs, and getting in the good graces of the Donald Trump, the markets may decide to look elsewhere for leadership in AI. How investors will be impacted remains to be seen, but as the old adage goes:

What does this teach us about the current rivalry between Silicon Valley and DeepSeek? In the absence of any previous domestic competition, US tech monopolies now fear losing their privileged status in the world of AI that has afforded investors' optimism with little required in return.

3) A weak spot in policy and national security. As US dependence on Boeing grew, so did Boeing's political leverage. Since American monopolies often conduct business with other countries, other nations can use contracts to influence US policy.

2) Viewing workers as liabilities, not assets. With innovation and quality losing importance, Boeing saw the opportunity to squeeze out more profit by laying off domestic workers and offshoring jobs. Why not run a business on cheap and reduced labor to save money and undermine unions?

1) Decreasing innovation and product quality. After merging with its final competitor, Boeing "[slowed]
innovation and...[reduced] product quality" since it no longer had anyone to compete with. Why invest in making a better product if customers have no choice but to buy from you?

This isn't the first time the US has made the mistake of backing monopolies to compete on the world stage. In the late 1990s, Boeing became the only domestic commercial airplane producer. As Khan noted, Boeing's control over the industry has led to three negative outcomes:
