This week, Trey joins Mike in a discussion of the-multi state lawsuit against Google alleging anti-competitive practices in the Google Play Store (as Mike takes more than a few shots at Trey’s beloved Apple). They stick with the lawsuit theme as they move to a discussion of Donald Trump’s bizarro-world 1st Amendment argument underpinning his lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter, and Google - an almost certain loser in court, but maybe not as a fund-raising tactic. Finally, they look at President Biden’s expansive order on competition. If you’re interested in a deeper dive on declining American competitiveness, you might want to check out Thomas Philippon’s book The Great Reversal: How America Gave up on Free Markets ( https://www.amazon.com/Great-Reversal-America-Gave-Markets/dp/0674237544 ) , and listen to Mike’s interview with Professor Philippon ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thomas-philippon-on-how-america-gave-up-on-free-markets/id977015568?i=1000468685936 ) (March 2020).
