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

(5) Electricity demand is projected to jump 25% by 2030—driven by AI data centers and reindustrialization. We can’t meet that demand with unstable or insufficient power sources.

(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.

(3) CPP 2.0 relies heavily on carbon capture and storage (CCS), a technology not yet commercially viable at the scale required. High costs, permitting hurdles, and technical risks remain unresolved.

(2) CPP 2.0 mirrors the original Clean Power Plan, which was struck down by the Supreme Court. EPA was again attempting to reshape the nation’s energy mix without congressional authorization.

A year after ruling Google monopolized general search, a Judge will soon decide on remedies that Google must implement to address the court-determined harms. But some DOJ proposals, like forced data sharing & structural divestitures, could hurt startups more than Google.

Pharmacy Benefit Managers often operate in the shadows, making it hard to see how drug discounts actually reach consumers. More transparency means lower costs and better choices for everyone. Isn’t it time we know what’s really going on?. #PBMTransparency #AffordableMedicine.

Banks would face much higher assessments to bring the Deposit Insurance Fund's reserve ratio into compliance. Those costs would be reflected in higher fees and reduced availability of credit.

Antitrust enforcement should serve consumer welfare not abstract ideology. Data-driven analysis over sweeping regulations, leads to fair markets and real benefits. Let’s keep competition smart, effective, and consumer-focused. #ConsumerWelfare #SmartAntitrust #MarketCompetition.

Consumers benefit most when private ISPs compete on price, speed, and service. History shows they consistently outperform government-run broadband networks. When local governments step back and let market forces work, residents gain access to better deals, more innovation, and.

Many states are banning phones in schools, hoping it will improve learning. But the research shows phone use only has a weak link to lower grades. In one study, the connection between phone use and K–12 achievement was just -0.12, a very small effect. The real issue isn’t just.
