Yeah, totally agree. I believe that the axing of several anti-monopoly enforcement departments and regulations in the largest market in the world (the US) is effectively a very big wink wink, nudge nudge to market participants; Trump basically got to play as Oprah for Big Businesses everywhere: "You get to be a cartel! You get to be a cartel! Everybody gets to be a cartel!"

He's basically created a sort of one-sided economic "Ferry Ordeal" (like the Joker on The Dark Knight [1]), basically leaving us consumers to not be exploited only if there are decent men at the helm of big businesses. It could be asymmetrical instead of one-sided if you consider that the people can only tolerate so much squeezing before they start clamoring for guillotines [2].

Holy shit, they want three grand for a 3.84TB drive. That's absurd.
