Let's say that Trump doesn't manage to cancel or subvert the next couple of sets of elections and that in 2029 the US has a democratic president and a democratic congress. Let's also imagine that the next president cares about monopolies and puts Lina Khan back in charge. I wonder if there's anything that they can do about decisions made by Trump's FTC. Or is Netflho just now legally in place and we're stuck with them unless the FTC can prove they're abusing their monopoly?

I've never seen it, but I read enough about it to dissuade me from even starting. Very disappointing. But my point was less about which media companies are preferable and more that american companies are racing to consolidate during this period of pro-big business government. It's more blatant under Trump but it's been going on for a while.

Oh sure. But thwy better not merge those two so we can have at least a bit of quality before they fully went to shit.

Be positive! Anything is possible. The people will rise up once again! The underground is now more powerful than the mainstream due to the "societal" shift into absurdity. Blood is more powerful than a token representing dubious value.

Normally when the people rise up they're slaughtered. When rich countries go through major changes normally there's a lot of chaos and blood before things get better. If you're someone who lives in one of those countries it's better if you can ride the chaos out somewhere else. In fact, in a country where things are getting bad, it's generally a good idea to get out long before the chaos starts.
