Elizabeth Warren calls for breakup of Amazon, Google, and FB
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/08/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-amazon.html Maybe in the future smart Americans will be immigrating to East Asia to work at the leading technology companies rather than the current situation where people from Asia come to the US.
Be interesting to see how the lefties that work at these companies react when it finally hits them that the move to socialism significantly reduces their meal ticket. Or are they that committed to everyone being poor and hungry?
She's just saying that to win the primaries.
I support breaking up anti-trust laws and the agencies enforcing them.
Democracy doesn’t work because the majority of “citizens” are unqualified to make any political decisions.
That’s why we are mostly a republic.... But the other viewpoint is.. I’m the one qualified to make decisions for you.
Unfortunately, we don’t have democracy. I’d say that corporate lobbyists, rich political donors, appointed bureaucrats and professional partisan politicians/pundits are unqualified to make political/economic decisions for the majority. Full democracy is difficult in capitalism because ultimately what’s good for big-business is bad for the population and what’s good for the population is bad for big-business.
Two thoughts. When one company owns everything you eat, buy, and see, will you feel “free”? Second, this is just rearranging seats on the titanic. They need to tax billionaires more, not have them reshuffle their resources.
Lol, socialism? Anti-trust efforts are just capitalist liberalism and fairly common at points in US history. Funny how anything that didn’t treat major companies like the sun king Louis the XIV is called “socialism” these days. But keep it up, such attitudes are convincing a whole generation that they should look into socialism.
All because of Amazon Basics..
Socialism vs capitalism aside, all i know is if google breaks up, the portion of the company that doesnt keep the search/ads wont be able to provide the same tc they used to (have no money)
In all seriousness, even in capitalism monopoly is never good. It’s unfortunate that there is no competition for Google in search or FB in social media. At least in commerce, there are still brick and mortar and some competition on selected categories. Not totally supporting this thought. but It is worthwhile to debate on.
It’s a rapid move to socialism.. very unfortunate.
It’s for show. She knows about as much about what tech is or is not, as she does about being Native American.
Lol how are anti-trust politics “socialist”? Teddy Roosevelt was socialist? It’s just liberal capitalism.
