Philosophy

“Under Antitrust laws, you become a criminal the moment you go into business. If you charge too much, you can be prosecuted for monopoly. If you charge too low, it’s unfair competition. If you charge the same prices as your competitors, you can be prosecuted for collusion”

What’s y’all’s take on this take?

Nah this ain’t a good take
These things are bad if and only if you can convince court that these pricing decisions are related to market power

In essence, if you have too much market power, antitrust should be able to get to you no matter what your prices are

As it should be

Yeah fair in theory
Are there many actual examples of a govt agency swamping a private company in cases?

Even so, they should usually have good reason to act, because they should be accountable to parliament/Congress

So while ultimately I agree with you I’d push back on the characterization slightly - regulators (unelected one’s btw) don’t have to convince a court of truth in order to materially damage or hinder your org. 

They just have to threaten or charge and you’re locked up in a multi year public swamp trial
