Hey Siri, how do I file an antitrust lawsuit?

@ErikJonker @kellogh And that's why we need more drastic anti-trust laws 👌. Lazy monopolists that just exist to suck out as much money for their shareholders as possible, are a blight to humanity and hinder our progress. #breakthemup

@kellogh @ErikJonker I don't trust Google anymore. Even *if* Gemini is good, it's just a matter of time till Google either kills it or inserts it with as much ads as we can stomach. I used to be a Google fanboy (bought the logo coffee mugs, the Android figurines, etc 🤡), and now I'd like to see them dead 🤗 #breakthemup Probably because they betrayed their original users and original philosophy. Ads used to exist to support cool products. Now their products exist to support the sale of ads.

Breaking up monopolies is a built-in feature of bitcoin. Monopolies only got to where they are by borrowing large amounts they can only do that on a #fiatCurrency system.A concerted effort by #thePeople to reject dotCons is vital for their breakup, now. It's too difficult politically to #breakThemUp if dotCons can #blackmail as they did in #Australia, 2021. Falsebook and Goo' cut us off from #mainstreamNews outlets.
Grassroots #activism is needed.

#Ticketmaster Cancels Sale of #TaylorSwift Tickets Because It Already Sold 'em
Sure to enrage #Swifties, who realize @[email protected]/#LiveNation #monopoly, insufficient internet infra, byzantine presales make it difficult for fans to get tickets

A rare story that excessive corporate profits are a big part of inflation and that corporate concentration is an inflation amplifier.

Invidious: https://tube.cthd.icu/watch?v=h_bRfzsvWXQInterestingly polls show that the public is aware of contribution of profits. Social media seems to be breaking down the corporate media barriers.
It is time that the fans of capitalism rediscover one of their base tenets: no market party is allowed to have power over the market. #BreakThemUp

Do they want to call it a "#BillionairesTax" rather than a #LandTax (most rich people own lots of #property/land, and in #BlindTrusts we might add) because…
…ultimately they want to use it to actually go after #cryptocurrency holders…
Who are *not* billionaires.
Tax the #landMonopolists and #breakThemUp (along with #BigTech, and #BigPharma).

One part of #American culture we love is their distaste for #monopoly power.
Perhaps a remnant of a #liberatarian past, the suspicion permeates the #culture and admittedly #Hollywood in what could be seen as #outsourcedActivism.
The big problem is the #USA never uses #antitrust to #breakThemUp. She beats her chest and complains, but in most cases it simply isn't enough — the castigating only fuels notoriety and advertises the dominance, rather than regulates it.
In contrast look at #China…
