  > the existing laws aren't being enforced
People say things like that all the time and I think in many cases it’s just vibes that they hope no one calls them on. If you disagree, give a specific example in antitrust of an action you don’t like and how that action violates a law that you can cite the actual text of. And then tell me how the action and the law are at odds.

My position is that US antitrust law is antiquated and impossibly vague, and needs wholesale renovation so that it can’t just be used as a tool of either political side to help their favored interests.

But also, if you don’t trust in laws to solve a problem, what exactly are you proposing as an alternative? Vigilante justice?

We don't need laws against using cell-phones while driving, because we already have due-care-and-attention laws that aren't being enforced. The alternative is to enforce the existing laws.

I’m still waiting for you to list an example of one specific instance of antitrust laws not being enforced where you explain what the law explicitly says that our govt didn’t enforce. I claim you’re talking out your ass, prove me wrong.
