The current DOJ strategy is completely wrong and will never work. So after
this case judged, government should close the DOJ completely and rewrite the
antitrust law. Why:
For years, the current DOJ claimed that it is for the benefit of consumers, and
at the same time , it won't allow winners in the industry, that is no company should dominate the market of any products, otherwise they will be monopoly. To look at this from another angle, the DOJ do not allow free competition and let the force of market play, but at the same time it claim it is pro consumers . and This two strategy is conflict to each other completely.
In the business world, companies which can deliver better products will always win and those can't will always lose, so as times go, those companies which can deliver better products will always win and eventually dominate the market. Now the DOJ tell these winners in that market that you should not deliver better products to benefit the consumers so that those companies which can't deliver better products (losers) can catch up . This is the definition of free competition in the DOJ's mind, but hurt the consumers. DOJ wants to decide for the consumers which products they should buy and should not buy , that what they called pro consumers. DOJ tells the companies what product they should develop and what thet should not develop, so that no company will be a winner, that is what it called free competition. Look like we are getting into a planned economy era, planed by the DOJ. Market force ( free choice of consumers, so that companies delivering the best products will always win) is allowed to play anymore. Are we in the USSR of 1970 ? |
