Democrats want to break up big tech companies. Is it going to be good or bad for tech workers? Will our compensation go up because of more competition?

Is there a “Warren is a Moron” option?

Google yogi bear Mar 8, 2019

I was about to say dumb b*tch but I guess that is too rude and harsh. So I second this, moron sounds more proper.

Imagine how much of a corporate shill you have to be to side with big tech and its executives who bathe in cash while watching you spend your weekends making it for them

Let’s all support retroactive government roll back of mergers. All the employees at Instagram who got Facebook stock, spent it on houses and drugs will now have to go back in time and retrieve that money. 🤦‍♂️

She's not a serious contender. And her "plan" defies logic. 🧐🔥🍿

Facebook pbnjqoei Mar 8, 2019

Please elaborate

Tableau stthompson Mar 8, 2019

Her first 🤣

Zero understanding of what drives innovation, entrepreneurship, and tech. Rather than break ups, let’s talk ways to give startups more resources and customers more agency and control.

Facebook gave us trump and measles, I’m fine with breaking them up. But yes she is a moron.

Microsoft innocent OP Mar 8, 2019

Sure. But eBay or whatever the company you are working for can be the next on the chopping board

Microsoft leet_away Mar 8, 2019

Technically the Democrats and Hillary gave us Trump.

For those who voted 'bad'- so competition and disruption is good, unless it's MY FAANG company you're talking about? 😋

Microsoft pegasus Mar 8, 2019

Microsoft is already a bunch of separate companies internally, so we're ready.

Microsoft innocent OP Mar 8, 2019

Democrats failed to break up big financial institutions. Now, they are targeting tech companies

Facebook pbnjqoei Mar 8, 2019

Never really understood how FB is a monopoly since we have small market share in advertising. It’s just the sentiment people feel they don’t have a choice but it’s not true.

OpenTable Meliodas Mar 8, 2019

Competitive markets don’t support the profit margins that Facebook has. Facebook may not have a monopoly, but it has a duopoly with Google. If the companies were competing the profit margins would be in the single digits.

Facebook pbnjqoei Mar 8, 2019

Fair. Do you know what market share google has?

Twitter Oomnj Mar 8, 2019

Lol you all gonna vote for trump now? So smart at coding and still so slow at learning ... 🤦‍♀️
