Dear POTUS, The Justice Department, and the FCC. By eliminating the Paramount Decrees, you have made way for the strikes and shutdown of our industry. That was an antiquated antitrust law that held back studios and streamers from forming monopolies. They are now crushing labor because there is no competition—there is no recourse to their demands. Please reinstate or better your antitrust laws for the entertainment industry.

Terminations of the Paramount Decrees: A Greenlight for Monopolies — Columbia Undergraduate Law Review

In August 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, New York federal court terminated the Paramount Consent decrees. The federal court’s termination of these decrees suggests the idea that they have little to no effect in regulating the current market despite the recent conglomerations o

@lou @rbreich Who needs students from US universities anyway? China, Japan and Europe have all the graduates US corporations will ever need...

@alexmaxham @rbreich It is now coming to a head though - like a pressurized submersible going down into the depths of Ultra-Right Conservatism, preparing to implode the entire US system - the economy, the justice system, Congress and the Executive Branch. This is what Trump MAGAts want: FASCISM with Trump as their Forever Leader. It's so close they can TASTE IT!

@stillnotahero @rbreich We could form a "National Voter Coalition", but it would have to take on all the negative characteristics of the corporations that are doing the most harm - in order to compete with the evil corporations in terms of lobbying (bribing and extorting) for control of our politicians. It would have to be the "Exceptional, GOOD Corporate-Coalition-of-Voters".

@cla3ja33r @rbreich The NEW DEAL was one approach that worked well to alleviate Depression-era suffering, while the Second World War forced the hands of the ultra-rich to contribute more, but only after they realized that Hitler's World Fascism would harm their financial interests. The rich are generally extremely stingy and greedy. It would take Congress to create another New Deal, but the SCOTUS would likely shoot that down as well. END THE SCOTUS! The USA can't take any more of this nonsense.

@rbreich Musk, a foreign-born US "citizen" BOUGHT a major US free speech platform... and has been dismantling its ability to provide free speech ever since. Go figure. There is no USA, only the very rich and those who have no real voice and no real voting power. Our "system of checks and balances" isn't working: END THE SCOTUS NOW! The USA can take no more of this nonsense.
