There were several big mergers. Exxon and Mobil. BP and AMoco. BP Amoco and Arco.

Shell and Texaco had an under-the-table merger of its refinery operations in the nineties, which was unraveled when Chevron later bought Texaco.

Clinton was busy going after Microsoft, while ignoring these mergers.

Clinton also let the Houston Chronicle’s buyout of the Houston Post go through. One one newspaper for one of the nation’s 5 largest cities.

Nice.

Yes. Microsoft was the only corporate monopoly that Clinton administration ever seemed to care about.
