There have been several opportunities to break up major tech monopolies and in each case, the relevant authorities failed. Imagine a world where Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, etc. were each less than 1/5th their current size, and meaningfully punished for breaking otherwise unenforced laws, and prevented from hiding their financial chicanery. The mind boggles.

That case was going perfectly well until she stepped in. I can only assume she was bribed. Her decisions just don't make sense otherwise.
The relevant authorities failed because the wealthy wanted them to fail. Look at how easily fascists can completely ignore the rule of law and break everything on behalf of the wealthy. Why can't we ignore the rule of law they rigged in their favor and make the world better for the 99%?
almost like that's not what laws are actually for. laws are for turning the weak against each other while the strong proliferate power. if they ever seem to be on your side, something's up.
