    If a business is too big to fail but is failing anyways, nationalize it.

      If a business is too big to fail, the FTC wasn’t doing its job (i.e., enforcing antitrust law) to begin with.

        They haven’t been doing their job for decades now. It must actually be kinda awesome working there. Your entire job is just to LOOK busy but never actually do anything. Man, I could read a ton of books, do some hobby coding, plan some really need landscaping projects, OOOOO man I could do so much! Maybe I should apply for a job there. Here would be my interview:

        What are your qualifications for this job? Absolutely none. I will be terrible at this job. You’re hired!

            I hope she can do something with the rumored amazon breakup. I was disappointed in the Microsoft Activision approval though … so who knows.

        Oh man I wish more people thought like that! Too Big to Fail = Too Big to Exist.

      If a business is failing it should be allowed to fail, full stop. Economics is Darwinian.
