It’s quite awful that the best this country can do at "enforcing" antitrust violations is through class action lawsuits.

The only people that benefit here are the lawyers on both sides.

That's what a do-nothing Congress gets you.

Our poor representation is an extreme outlier among OECD countries:

Nordic countries have similar representation to the U.S. in the early 1800s.

Though virtual, Colonial Americans had better representation in Parliament.

Virtual representation isn't representation at all, and was so repugnant that we fought a war over it.
