[Reuters] * Reminder that antitrust warriors like Lina Khan don't understand that mergers lead to efficiency!!! Also, remaining sugar production conglomerates collude in price fixing scheme causing costs of food staple to skyrocket. [Law.com] * Speaking of Lina Khan, the FTC is about to ban non-compete agreements. [Bloomberg Law News] * Chicago firms grew... but not as fast as New York. This occasion calls for a Malört! [American Lawyer] * Neal Katyal has a suggestion for Trump's gag order violations that might actually work... jail time suspended until after trial subject to reevaluation if Trump behaves.
