especially not in the same week when Kamala Harris goes on national TV to say she’s a capitalist.
You can rest assured that that is a meticulously prepared statement to curry favor and win elections in specific areas, and nothing to do with her personal ideology or how she will run things as President.
Look, I’m voting for Harris, and even as a leftist I’m half excited by it. But let’s not pretend a mainstream democratic party politician is anything other than a capitalist. She might have good policy ideas, ones that will genuinely help people, but she’s still a capitalist.
I’d love to believe that, but Democrats have ruled as pro-corporate assholes for 40 years now. The last Dem we had with the balls to oppose corporate rule was LBJ.
The trail went really really badly for Google. I know it’s trendy to be all nihilist with regards to government competence but they’d make way more other powerful corporations angry if they didn’t break up Google.
Listen, its this government or we go with the GOP version where its just the MOVE bombing every couple of weeks, while the DOJ issues briefs about busting open a child’s testicles to get information out of his father.
Do Nothing or Do Something Awful. Those are your choices.
DoJ is edging y’all too hard here
I will believe it when I see it
Agreed.
No f’in way this happens, especially not in the same week when Kamala Harris goes on national TV to say she’s a capitalist.
With that said, I still hope they try. It should be inconvenient at least to run a monopoly.
The best our government can do is make mega corpos pay lawyers … So at least we got some extra jobs out of it 🤡
Since they are creating extra jobs shouldn’t government reward them with state aid for it?!
breaking up giant corps is how you keep capitalism running.

Sure, I’m just saying that her saying that on TV is meaningless.

They have the concept of a antitrust breakup.
