People focus on the FTC because not blocking struggling companies from merging seems a lot more tractable than revamping capitalism or stopping humans from making business mistakes.
iRobot was (arguably) mismanaged just like Spirit Airlines or Warner Bros, but I'd appreciate if the FTC didn't make the matter worse.

That's only an option if the FTC can rewind time. Can they?

The rear seat legroom is absurdly good for a car that size. It's been our only car for the past 10 years for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Zero issues outside of regular maintenance. Bought for $18k new in 2014 (2015 model). Good times.

He works for a company who tries to sell coding agents. He's absolutely trying to pump it up and induce FOMO. If you can't see that because he hides it behind a layer of humor, that's on you.

Can't help but feel schadenfreude after a rather nasty interviewing experience at Uber earlier this year. In the eyes of their recruiter, preferring competing offers that are > $100k higher than Uber's makes you a despicable person who only cares about money, apparently. Coming from a nonprofit I would have felt bad for a second but Uber? Come on.
