TL:DR: “Newly appointed antitrust enforcers Khan and Kanter have decided to take a playbook from Reagan, and are rewriting the merger guidelines, but in reverse. They are trying to enforce the law, not get rid of it. The reason your comments matter is because the new guidelines will be attacked in the courts, and judges are going to want to make sure that they are based on real input. Lots of lobbyists and economists have already submitted comments, but Khan and Kanter want to hear from ordinary people, consumers, workers, farmers, businesspeople, engineers, and so forth. There are just 300 comments in the docket, so your voice will carry weight.”
