Microsoft, one of the world’s most profitable companies - a story in two parts.

@GossiTheDog

Middle finger tech bros, middle finger.

Break up the tech monopolies, break into pieces small enough to NEED tobe polite to customers.

Break up Microsoft into 100 firms.

\\And dont install it FFS!!

@kevinrns @GossiTheDog Then hit the investment management companies next

@Holir_ @GossiTheDog

When banks, BANKS, became too big for the American democracy, with outsized control, America SMASHED THEM TO TINY BITS.

No bank was allowed to have branches more than a few miles from head office. Made small by law. Because big banks aren't servants, theyre masters.

We broke up the trusts, then they bribed their way back. A multi generational plan.

It is time to restore democracy.

ENFORCED Antimonopoly laws are enough for investment management companies

@kevinrns @Holir_ @GossiTheDog wait when did America break up the big banks? I thought this was famously a thing that didn't happen

If attempts at banking reform are your meat or potato, there's good stuff here, mixed up with a little triumphalism.

But here's one:"The McFadden Act specifically prohibited interstate branching by allowing each national bank to branch only within the state in which it is situated."
