2025-02-19

Arrr, matey! Ol' Trump be the swashbuckler to mend Biden's leaky ship o' antitrust woes! Those meddlin' landlubbers like that scallywag Lina Khan be sinkin' businesses faster than a cannonball through a hull! Heave-ho, let’s set sail for fair waters!

Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as we spin a tale o' the Senate Judiciary Committee, settin' sail to confirm one Gail Slater as the new assistant attorney general fer the antitrust division! This lass be sportin' a treasure trove o' knowledge, havin' sailed through the Trump administration and the Federal Trade Commission. With the wind at her back from some senators and the Attorney General, she be on the fast track to bein' confirmed without a hitch!

Once she dons her new hat, Slater and FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson should chart a course back to the fabled Consumer Welfare Standard, a mighty guideline since the days of yore in '79! This ol' compass, crafted by the learned Professor Robert Bork, says that competition be good fer the folks, savin' coins and bringin' forth innovation like a fresh catch o' fish!

But beware! The Biden crew be throwin' a wrench in the works with their Brandeisian Antitrust nonsense, makin' it harder fer shipmates to know who's big and who's too big. Slater and her crew must navigate these treacherous waters and reclaim the CWS, lest we find ourselves in a sea of confusion, with the economy at risk of sinkin' like an old ship!

So raise yer tankards and toast to a new era under Slater, where the seas of commerce be safe fer all! Arrr!
