When antitrust enforcers replaced reality with fantasy, working Americans lost. @tzduren.exposed how blocking Kroger-Albertsons, based on imagined market scenarios, forced 60 Kroger stores to close and furloughed 260 Spirit Airlines pilots. Real lives, real jobs sacrificed for.

Judge Mehta is weighing remedies in the Google antitrust case. But some DOJ proposals could hurt startups more than Google. āœ… Ending default search deals? Makes sense. āš ļø Forced data sharing & divestitures? Risk crippling AI & tech startups. Smart remedies should target.

(4) ⚔ 60% of U.S. electricity comes from fossil fuels. Forcing premature plant retirements, without dependable alternatives, increases the risk of blackouts and skyrocketing energy prices.
