Who in the fuck do they think they're fooling? There hasn't been any sort of large corporate antitrust breakup since Bell Systems in the early 80s. They expect us to believe that after 40 years of inaction, suddenly they're going to do their jobs again? This is nothing but pandering to pad approval ratings. I would love to be wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Dude, the 80s wasn't 40 years ago...

Damn I got old..

The 80s will always be 20 years ago. Y2k was ten years ago, the 2010s didn't happen and we're both old.
