No, I'm actually quite pleased. It has historically been very difficult to get the average person to care about monopoly law and international relations, or even politics in general. I think our society has done a lot to try to insulate citizens from the consequences of policies, because groceries continue to show up in their supermarket, they need to keep going to work, and they can still visit their family on an individual basis even if statistically and in aggregate many of these may change based on what is going on.

Every so often, there are events that really get people upset about the state of things. I think the Taylor Swift Ticketmaster thing would be one of them. In this case a guy who mostly wants his games to run fast is now caught in the middle of supply chains for the AI race and is finding out that when a trillion dollars are involved, his hobbies literally do not matter in comparison. So when someone ends up realizing this, I am hopeful that more people will as well and do something about it.
