It might also strike some as funny that the government actually has a bureau within the FTC which attempts to regulate it. The government does seem to be everywhere these days. Here's how they descibe what they do:The Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition champions the rights of American consumers by promoting and protecting free and vigorous competition.The Bureau: reviews mergers and acquisitions, and challenges those that would likely lead to higher prices, fewer choices, or less innovation; seeks out and challenges anticompetitive conduct in the marketplace, including monopolization and agreements between competitors;promotes competition in industries where consumer impact is high, such as health care, real estate, oil &amp; gas, technology, and consumer goods; provides information, and holds conferences and workshops, for consumers, businesses, and policy makers on competition issues and market analysis.Why can't we all just get along<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1193279177081666596-6434336745217380866?l=business-coaching-top-achiever.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Excelleron Blognoreply@blogger.com3
