For the media class the apex of politics isn’t being a prosperous, socially just, well run country in the North Atlantic. No, it’s cosplaying being a mid 20th century imperial power. They genuinely all want to be in the West Wing. For them - this is as good as it gets.

Previously on this show: Cap student fees, unis charge cap. Uncap intl fees, unis chase intl students. Keep fee cap throughout 39% inflation, unis w/o intls cost-cut or go under. & at every step: "We're shocked market actors behave like market actors, not public services!"

Sorry, my "bam!" was cryptic. Google has violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act by maintaining its monopoly in two product markets in the U.S.... It's 286 pages - be back with a thread shortly along with implications for the adtech antitrust trial starting in five weeks. /1
