I'm Getting Real Down On Elizabeth Warren

[Cepheus Ace]

Her stance against "Big Tech" is most alarming to me. I can see toughening up laws to prevent stifling of competition but break up Google and Amazon!? So-called "Big Tech" is the only thing I see that we have left to give us an advantage on the world stage.

Economics is a subject I'm weak on so I would appreciate any insights anyone has on why her stance may have merit - because I'm not seeing it.

is amazon an online store or a defense contractor? or a streaming service? or an advertisement company?

Amazon, Microsoft, Google etc are no longer just tech companies, they have businesses in other industries ranging from civilian to military through themselves or their own subsidiaries. They have a finger in almost every goddamn pie. even pies that aren't even done baking yet.

and if Amazon does something shady or anti consumer I'm sure the Washington Post will let everyone know and won't be impacted by the fact that Bezos owns them


oh and the more influence these companies have on any aspect of govt the more influence they can have on what type of regulations or taxes they will face.
