OK, even if one thinks this is specifically failing of Biden (or a generic democratic president) then, realistically, what is a republican going to do about this? Trump in fact favored corporate consolidation in his 2020 Economic Report of the President.

The media obviously wasn't talking about this when they were talking about how good the stock market was under Trump...

Do you think I'm saying this because I'm a Republican? Biden has actually been the best president of my lifetime for these issues but that just speaks to how pathetic the Democrats have been on economic issues for decades. Barely opposition at all economically speaking, they differentiate themselves more by wearing Kente cloth and engaging in divisive culture war stuff these days.
