Thank you!!
I am immensely excited and grateful for the opportunity to speak @hls.harvard.edu on March 11. I will be discussing how antitrust is shapes power and democracy. If you are a current HLS student, please come to the event and say hello.

When will you be posting to SSRN?? Looks like an amazing read.
The first draft of my effort to theorize the political/coalitional characteristics of student debt is out for review.
It's really the first step in an effort to think through how to design a free college program with durable long-term coalitions
The Post layoffs are an incalculable loss for local journalism, and one that we won't recover from anytime soon. But as billionaires destroy beloved institutions, it’s our job to build new ones. The @51st.news can't fill this void alone, but I think we owe it to DC to try.

When is the pre-order opening?! I would buy this in a milli-second.
The final version of Tara Pincock and I's paper detailing the intrinsic fairness foundations in antitrust law was just published in the latest online version of the Washington & Lee Law Review. Enjoy! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
The follow-up question for journalists should be: is Intel still on track to build the manufacturing facilities that Congress appropriated that money to fund ?
Recall that, in buying an equity stake in Intel, the Trump admin removed the conditions placed on the Biden CHIP grants requiring Intel to use it to boost domestic manufacturing
Intel then announced they planned to pay off their debts with the $

Yet another letter from members of congress urging the FTC and DOJ to enforce the Robinson-Patman Act. Good!

(this is, by my count, the fifth letter from lawmakers advocating for RPA enforcement).

Ever wonder about how PE took over so many public service sectors?
Look no further than this classic cycle: "Privatize services, let private companies run amok, and then declare that the gov't is the problem. Then, privatize more services..." and repeat.
Katharina Pistor’s new book The Law of Capitalism and How to Transform It is fantastic and a must read.

Crassly dipping my toe onto this platform with self-promotion: My book, Chains of Command: The Rise and Cruel Reign of the Franchise Economy now has a beautiful cover, and a release date: April 20th. So you'll have something to enjoy with your 4/20 Taco Bell order! bookshop.org/p/books/chai...
🚨 New report out today from Garphil Julien and me on the hidden risks of US dependence on Chinese manufacturers of active pharma ingredients (API) — the basic inputs for making our essential medicines

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.
To give credit to where credit is due, in January, @basel.bsky.social did a great job unearthing this problem.

I’m excited to announce that today @openmarkets.bsky.social and Mission:data are jointly releasing a new report co-authored by Michael Murray,
Sandeep Vaheesan, Katherine Wyszkowski, and myself. A Thread and links below. www.openmarketsinstitute.org/publications...
In collaboration w/ @groundwork.bsky.social & @moreperfectunion.bsky.social, we convened hundreds of volunteers from across the country to investigate Instacart’s AI-assisted pricing experiments at popular grocery stores like Target & Kroger. Read our full investigation below:
If you want to hear more about the paper, RSVP to a conference call on Monday, December 15, hosted by
@capitolforum.bsky.social. Michael, Katherine, and I will be walking people through the paper, its importance, and our proposals. thecapitolforum.com/events/confe...
Our paper discusses how the antitrust laws can challenge specific methods of competition deployed by IOUs (such as refusals to deal and tying arrangements) and help ensure that there is an open and vibrant marketplace so that VPPs can thrive and survive.
The problem is that investor-owned utilities (IOUs), however, are impeding the growth of VPPs through assorted illicit and potentially unlawful means.
VPPs are internet connected devices that can automatically turn off and on Wi-Fi-connected appliances to modify the electrical load on the power grid.
In our report, we discuss that the exploding cost of electricity – due in part to voracious appetite of tech giant data centers – can be off-set by the usage of what are known as virtual power plants (VPPs).

You have two bids for Warner brothers. Both are illegal. The fact that one deal is extremely illegal doesn’t make the other deal legal
