I’m not surprised. What were they supposed to say, that they are afraid and stressed out before the hearings? On the other hand, the fact is that the DOJ failed to produce anything new that would have a significant impact on the decision. Was hoping to get some other opinions on this board regarding the outcome of the hearings.

Yes, it might be legal but that does not make it right.

Antitrust law seeks to limit the downsides of monopolies, but it focuses on the effects on consumers, not workers. Regulators look at whether a merger lessens competition, which could increase costs, reduce quality, and decrease consumers’ ability to choose. But they would not block a merger because it eliminates jobs, said Daniel Crane, a professor at University of Michigan Law School. “The focus is on consumers and on economic efficiency as opposed to preserving jobs,” he said. “There are conversations about whether we have it right or not, but that certainly is where the law and practice is today.”
