That’s unconstitutional - don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been... ever, for any reason whatsoever...

These guidelines are written in a way that seem like mergers shouldn't be allowed at all. Mergers should be examined but it sometimes benefits both the public and the companies involved when two smaller companies are combined to go against a market dominator.

It wouldn't apply to smaller companies due to their small HHI score.

Oh okay, I didn't see any mention of HHI in the article but I'm glad smaller companies can still do what's necessary (including merging) in order to compete
