Don't worry. They totally promised to lower prices if the government approves a merger to give them even more of a monopoly and thusly more direct control over pricing...

/s

Not really sarcastic tho, theyre legitimately making that argument right now while they're still price gouging.

It's just obvious bullshit.

Just like sprint/t mobile. They waited over a decade for the correct pieces of shit to control the ftc before even attempting the buyout, and promised that it would keep lower prices/competition.

Instead, competition has stagnated.
