The FTC & DOJ should thoroughly scrutinize this acquisition, but must also strengthen policies to stop approving these mergers—the “Vertical Merger Guidelines.” 3/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon has used its economic power to buy its way into new markets—Whole Foods, entertainment, audiobooks, smart devices&gaming. Each time, our antitrust enforcers took a narrow view&green-lit these acquisitions, ignoring the clear risks to consumers, workers&competition. 2/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Our enforcers can still clean up the mess. That's why I have been pushing the FTC to do a retrospective review of past mergers. We need bold action & leadership from our enforcers, & Congress needs to strengthen our laws. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org
