internal business mismanagement is not the governments job. the government cannot even manage themselves
The SEC actually reviews business conduct for mismanagement. Stock holders interest are to be protected.
JetBlue explicitly stated they would raise fares as part of the joint company. The government said it would hurt consumers.
we are talking about the role of the government which is to manage resources pooled by the national for the good the nation.
special interest groups and lobbyists ruin that system. Corruption ruins the system.
