    Who knew cartels were bad for markets? I am sure economists and regulators were screaming at legislators for years but I guess they couldn’t hear them over the sound of the bags of dirty lobbyist money landing on their desks.

    And then there are the financial “irregularities” funding the AI boom which are also not getting any attention.
