To be fair, most things I buy disappear from supermarket shelves.

An Amazon search has absolutely no value if you can’t find what you are looking for when your very specific and detailed search of a product is on page 6 of the search results. But look at Microsoft and Activision with XBox gamepass prices being hiked. Lina Khan was so spot on.

Miserable performance. The mentality of not going for a win after scoring an equaliser is despicable. Taking your shirt off and running to the fans instead of going to pick up the ball and taking it back to the halfway line is not exactly winning mentality. Pathetic.

Oh yes, and businesses (also many individuals) will not complain out of fear of being targeted. You want to stay low and seem irrelevant, maybe they’ll forget about you. Existence under authoritarian rule is very different. You’ll lear and het used to it.

Finally, the costs of building out a fascist state and deconstructing the very institutions that had created wealth and prosperity for Americans (even if lately, inequality has surged and is undermining democracy) will manifest over the long term. Long term costs are discounted just like revenues.
