Meh, the EU doesn't do more than US courts. They charge a few fines to line their own pockets and that's it. They rely too much on revenue from taxes and fines to do anything substantial. After all, they kill all of their own EU-based companies before they get big enough to rival foreign companies.
Gotta love when the entire economy is run by a handful of jews, who are no doubt meeting up or at least communicating what they’d like to set prices at across the board, in order to maximize profits by leaving the goyim no option other than to pay the money Jews demand for specific product, or else go without the product because there is no competition left. Every industry has essentially become a monopoly
Was that the start of Left-establishment activism overrunning the grassroots technologist communities? If one believes in anti-trust, there was an actual an actual case that Microsoft was making anticompetitive deals with hardware assemblers to shut out OS competitors. But anyone giving credibility to the argument that Microsoft shouldn't bundle a web browser with Windows is a retard (or scam-artist), including the few that were proficient at quantitative trading or improving C compiler optimizations. I'm not aware of any prior activism relevant to hobbyist/retail computing being retarded.
To the original topic, people should be looking for what is hindering competition with the giant retail corporations. An hefty antitrust lawsuit wouldn't fix artificial govt. costs of small business, or low expertise consumers being allergic to due diligence.
The best we can do is spread the news and maybe some more people will stop buying at Amazon. Amazon has been shitty company for a long time and I stopped buying there years ago.
You’re not going to win normies that way, creatures of convenience will consume any slop as long as it’s slightly more convenient than the alternative.
Yeah. I was asking the AI why airline ticket prices per mile are higher in the US than Europe, and it said less competition. So why TF do we have airline mergers then?

~The automatic e-mail informing you that you are no longer allowed to buy food.
Imagine asking your neighbors to buy you food because you're banned from buying food.
I want to say that's when White folks start walking out with their whole cart, but I know most of us would just beg or die quietly because "making a fuss and stealing are bad, m'kay."
They will pay some $20M fine or something that pales in comparison to the financial benefit, and go on doing it anyway in a slightly different way.
This only ends when higher-ups at these businesses start spending time in prison, and they’d never let that happen, because they can buy the judges and the lawmakers, both of which put themselves up to the highest bidder.
Long time ago... My gf moved into a neighborhood that had like 3 corporations controlling all the housing. And I was shocked because, at this point, there were other places to live. Just not right there. The rate on her 1BR was shocking to me. Luckily, that didn't last long. But yeah, they've been at this business of price fixing, and I've seen it first hand.
Oh and the reason she wanted to move is that her other block was becoming full of criminals and rapists. I wouldn't argue against leaving that. I guess that's how they get you to pay.
"Back in the day," miners and factory workers were paid in "company currency" -- Monopoly money that you would take to the company store to buy what you need. After all, isn't that why people work in the first place? So their employees became their slaves. What are you going to do saving up fake company currency? This is how the Unions came about in America. Now we're circling back to just that. We work for companies in exchange for company currency that we just end up giving back to them for bare necessities.
The complexity of the monetary system is pretty much a ruse. Remember when we were worried stimulus checks would drive inflation? Routinely, the Fed deposits money into big banks without debiting anything. It's not in your bank account, but you can borrow it. That's what creating money is.
The point being, the money doesn't appear into the ether. The government gives it to someone... Else.
I would, here, separate Capitalism (tm) from free markets. You and me trading is fine. The debt-based monetary system requires constant impoverishment. Real tl;dr , it's usury.
That's a rather extreme level of price-fixing that should result in jail time for the people who did this and extreme fines to degorge ill-gotten gains.
Ironically, I'd have more hope of progress being done in the EU over this. They have a good track record of penalising companies doing this shit.
....they're just shit at most OTHER things...

Nothing will actually happen. Anti-trust laws exist in writing only anymore.
Anti-trust laws are for the government to shake down companies that aren't paying the right cut to the big guy.
United States v. Microsoft Corp. has entered the chat.
Heard it said that Microsoft was the largest company not paying lobbyists before it, and that ended after it started.

Thanks Ronald Reagan
They'll get a few fines.

Wait till you see electronic price tags in stores.
"It's the 6:00pm after-work shopping rush. Quick, bump the prices 20% higher!"

Holding morality 'til death is an admirable trait, but only if you also defend morality 'til death.
More like 200% higher. My only hope is that when they do this they grotesquely overreach resulting in lynchings.
I don't know about that, but I can see "flash mobs" forming.
What nigs do for sneakers, Whites will have to do for food.

Rental corpos that own the big apartment complexes also do this to elevate rental rates.

The fundamental problem with capitalism: your money isn't yours, it's theirs. They will do everything possible to optimize your money away.

that was more because the work was in a hard place to reach

I look forward to them being fined a very small percentage of the profit they made from this scheme.
I had some stuff sitting in my cart and wondered why the prices on some suddenly dropped.
I went to levi once and almost laughed at the price.
This is old news. They also fake discounts
