Antitrust Issues and Arbitrary Rulings
Chris discusses the negative impacts of recent antitrust decisions and the arbitrary nature of these rulings. He criticizes the poster child decision of mandatory retirement ages, which undermines capitalism and transparency. The decision fails to establish clear standards on materiality and substance in the law, and it weakens the quality of expert opinions. Chris expresses concern about the future analysis of contracts and markets under this ruling, as well as the potential for narrative-driven laws and regulatory overreach.
