I well mm used to like reason a while ago but this is laughable. The article does not show how or explain why or in which manner she affects consumers.

It says that she has been bad for them but there is no proof of this.

Instead it makes quite a comical attempt at trying to vaguely point at the sky and say she is evil or overreaching, but she is not and anyone whoa actually wants a free market can tell you that. I honestly just cannot understand what happened to Reason I checked some more or their side articles and wow the quality has dropped to a level that would make the NYT blush.

The article is pretty clear to me.

The main complaint is that the Khan FTC by default is against all mergers and acquisitions.

This is different from the previous standard that only mergers that harm consumers are bad. So now even mergers that benefit consumers are blocked.

That is an a-historical claim. That standard was THE standard from 1890-1980. The consumer-harm standard was the innovation of Bork under Regan in 1980.
