This is far from childish.

This is two monopolists fighting each other. All Americans should care. Monopsony is affecting all of our lives. Just as in the 1920s a small number of extremely wealthy families exerts control over the economy. And a small number of corporations exerts monopolistic control over their markets.

We need to bring back antitrust law and regulate or break up Google and Amazon and Microsoft.
