      You might not be able to afford bread, but at least you’ll get circuses.

      I don’t go to concerts and don’t really personally care that much about ticket prices, but even from that position, antitrust issues are pretty much a real issue.

      I do think that the framing of antitrust action as being specifically driven by the political layer is maybe obnoxious. The overwhelming bulk of federal Executive Branch activity is done by people who do not change from administration and whose actions do not change. A few people at the top whose job is oversight of them do change, but that drives a very small part of what the government does.
