@rbreich is amazing at communicating about how messed up the US economy is due to #monopolies and #oligopolies (and his team is brilliant at making it YouTube friendly).
The tragedy of the success of the #astroturf "economic theory" that is the #ChicagoSchool is unfolding horrifically and will cause damage to everyone but the 1% for decades to come. We need to dump #stockholder capitalism in favor of #stakeholder capitalism. We need strong #regulation of political donations. We need strong #unions. We need #trustbusters to come down hard on #anticompetitive mergers and break up hyperconsolidated behemoths (not just products & services but media too).
Lastly, if corporations can be international, then unions should be international, too.

@adamconover (I hope that's legit) makes a great point with compelling details that the root of most of our current problems in the US and maybe globally is the reemergence of #trusts via rampant, unchecked #corporate #consolidation aka #mergers.
We need #TrustBusters in our government to not only block mergers but to actively #BreakThemUp.
Yes we need #MedicareForAll and stronger #unions and #VotingReform and #PoliceReform. But we won't get that or at least not as fast and definitely not for our maximum benefit if we let giant multinational corporations keep running everything.

The rail industry is the poster child for corporate power, and rail barons were among the first targets of Gilded Age #trustbusters who saw the rail #monopolies as a threat to the prosperity and wellbeing of Americans, as well as the integrity of the American political system itself.
