Always love to see people’s first time experiencing this guy. My octogenarian libertarian uncle literally mails me his columns he clipped out of the journal.

It’s basically the opposite. We need strong antitrust enforcement now more than ever.

Why did I ever consider WSJ to be a source of good information? This is capitalist propoganda sold as a "this is good for consumers" message.

xar.ph•90 days ago

Astonishingly the newsroom is still kept at arms length from the editorial board. I guess that even the rich fuckers need accurate news from somewhere.

His name even sounds like "we need a snooty billionaire character, what do we call him"

anupwardspiral.bsky.social•90 days ago

I had that same thought.

Notice the Jr., too.

Suggests inherited wealth. Poor Holman. Not even his nanny loved him, I bet.

Between that and the drawing of him I’m pretty sure he’s a straight up Disney villain who’s going to turn a playground into an oil well unless the plucky kids can stop him.

He tells on himself in the first 2 words. It always starts and ends w taxes as the prism for life and choices.

Jesus with a quick scan just of this screen shot I see a goldmine of tropes and contradiction.
If anti-trust is irrelevant in todays economy then implicitly is was relevant before.

profusional.bsky.social•90 days ago

You'd probably be hard pressed to find ol' Holman ever saying it was ever relevant.
OK Holman what then has changed? for Whom?

profusional.bsky.social•90 days ago

Ok now do word swap. Instead of anti-trust swap in Regulation. Or Tax increase. Or anti-corruption. Or Rule of law.

Who names their child Holman!?
"This my kid, Hole-man. my dream is that he ends up being passed around a coterie of depraved and sadistic ancient rich people."

volchmute.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yeah Holman W. Jenkins is a hack and a clown. The links to references in his articles don’t even support the B.S. he vomits.
His “green pork” article is the worst.
Guy doesn’t have a clue.

It's your fault this is now in my downloads...

On the WSJ editorial board for 29 (!) years. Looks like he could be a third Duke Brother, also manipulating the price of frozen OJ

princessjemmy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Can we draw small solace from the fact that he seems to look constipated in media across the board?

I mean, the drawn portrait was already hilarious (kudos to the artist). The fact that he always looked constipated, even back in the day? Priceless.
