Rural voters who voted for ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ must be thrilled. Government expenditure cuts are coming and does anyone in a rural area rely on the postal service any more?? https://t.co/flWF0i5C3L

[Fiona Scott Morton @ProfFionasm]

Supporters of ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ don’t mind tariffs. It’s what they voted for! And $4000 per household is a small price to pay. https://t.co/nCl96HrKAb

Real #MAGA voters dont eat vegetables! If vegetables are in shortage or have high prices, imitate President Trump and eat hamburgers.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Donald Trump announces he'll impose a 25% tariff on ALL products coming into the United States from Mexico and Canada on his first day in office.

This is going to be a disaster of epic proportions for the cost of goods.

We break it down here: 🧵

Farmers voted for Trump. They can’t complain now - this is what deporting migrants looks like. It’s government doing what farmers asked for! https://t.co/NKPrBOG47R

4. Trump wanted him. A majority wanted Trump. And this is a democracy! If most Americans wanted a criminal president, what’s wrong with a criminal attorney general?

[Fiona Scott Morton @ProfFionasm]

Real #MAGA men don’t mind tariffs to help @realDonaldTrump!! Get strong! The cost is only $4 thousand per household. Real men have real income and can afford 4k

A trump 60% tariff on goods from China would raise prices on smartphones, laptops, video game consoles, basically everything electronic. Does anyone remember why Japan went to war with us in 1941??

@superwuster Indeed, I went back to the Yale Amazon article that no journalist ever fails to cite to see if the novel claims in it appear in the complaint... they don't. This is a standard MFN complaint that economists could have written for the FTC yrs ago & is v similar to the CA complaint.

[Fiona Scott Morton @ProfFionasm]

@superwuster in particular there is no predatory pricing claim. The idea in the article and house report is that A makes prices too low. The complaint does a 180 and says the conduct makes prices too high. Sounds like consumer welfare!

@CompetitionProf The monopoly profit on one side can be used to defend and expand the monopolist's market power (e.g. buy the entrant, contract to keep the entrant out, pay to lock up distribution channels, etc). This means that self-correction will be the exception not the rule.

@johnnyryan what do you mean? Would breaking Meta up into 5 small Metas create data compliance? Would spinning off WhatsApp and Instagram create data compliance at https://t.co/ary9ZTznc1?

@musharbash_b @Sherman1890 That's what the Chicago School people have taught you and all journalists to think. But it's not true. We have many good tools to show harm but need courts or the law to adjust. One I know well: Illumina-Grail: https://t.co/65dzM0l0ss
