    No, taken at face value, #RobertReich is not right:

    "and that's why we need to make minor adjustments to the American tax code and close the inheritance loophole..."

    Something that has an engrained systemic error cannot be fixed by something so minor.
    To be frank, today's oligarchs and #Technofeudalists would not let that happen.

    What would be needed is this: #AbolishBillionaires:

  6. We are living terribile times. A time avere #technofeudalists are able to influence the president of the most potent country to threaten increasing levy on imported goods from Europe just because Europe is applying its sovereign right to fine a techogiant like Google because it violated European laws. I am angry with our #european leaders for not choosing the right priorities in the past.

    This is actually great! What are the penalties, random blocking of the services at the network level?

    Although we prefer the term #technoFeudalists to describe these entities (and entities, T'site Buyer, Akamai, Oracle, Alibaba, and Tencent which appear to be absent in the legislation), the term '#gatekeepers' is a fairly good indictment.
