As the Post noted, the states have more limited powers at their disposal than the feds (cục, hệ thống dự trữ liên bang), which can break up entire firms on the grounds of anticompetition (ngăn sự cạnh tranh) law. However, states can join with the feds in court, as they did during the antitrust (chống độc quyền) investigation into Microsoft in the 1990s, as well as tangle (làm phức tạp) Google up in years of legal battles.

“As far as a player, I want to be there for the younger guys and the older guys as well. I’m one of those guys I’m getting up in years and a lot of the younger guys are starting to look up to me as a role model. Just to show them the work ethic (đạo đức nghề nghiệp, trong công việc) that I have year in and year out …. That’s all I know what to do is just do my job. Can’t worry about this. Can’t worry about that. But I know how hard I can play whenever I get the opportunities.”

However, for Kuhens and her one kitchen assistant, as they have gotten up in years, they have had to adjust (điều chỉnh) their service to keep up with their capabilities (khả năng, năng lực). To make sure the MSA can continue to provide high quality meals to those who need them, the pair would appreciate additional helpers. From gathering supplies from the pantry (phòng để thức ăn), to opening cans, to preparing fresh vegetables, to serving meals, and cleaning up afterwards, Kuhens welcomes anyone willing to volunteer. “There’s always something for [volunteers] to do!” she emphasized.
