> I've always heard Discover was a good company to work for and they had the best customer support. Capital One is the opposite of both of those things so I hope the government steps in here.

You want the government to step in because you don’t like what you’ve heard about capital one’s customer service and work culture?

That's what he said. There's nothing wrong with it, either.

And don't bother pretending to think that he wants the government to use his opinion as justification. That's obviously where you're going, so don't insult the rest of us by continuing.

I'll continue, this is absurd. No, the government shouldn't be stepping in to stop this.

The FTC should evaluate this deal just like any others and possibly slow/stop it if it finds major anti-trust issues.

The FTC is a government agency. Did you think I was asking for Joe Biden to personally issue an executive order against this?

So you don't consider the FTC to be "the government?"

Well what's wrong with it is that:

1) It's hearsay

2) It's completely subjective

3) Even if everyone agrees its true including the companies, it doesn't constitute a legal basis for government intervention
