It would take passing new laws. Why are you asking, do you not have Google? What on earth is the point of asking such an uninformed question?

If the existing laws aren't being enforced, why would new laws be enforced either?

  > the existing laws aren't being enforced
People say things like that all the time and I think in many cases it’s just vibes that they hope no one calls them on. If you disagree, give a specific example in antitrust of an action you don’t like and how that action violates a law that you can cite the actual text of. And then tell me how the action and the law are at odds.

My position is that US antitrust law is antiquated and impossibly vague, and needs wholesale renovation so that it can’t just be used as a tool of either political side to help their favored interests.

But also, if you don’t trust in laws to solve a problem, what exactly are you proposing as an alternative? Vigilante justice?
