How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

@rbreich Especially #3. Dark money is the root of many of our current political ills.

5. Return the duration of copyrights to what it was when the constitution was adopted: 28 years.

How? By a SCOTUS ruling that life-of-the-author-plus-70-years conflicts with the constitutional requirement that copyrights are "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts."

Odds are that Disney will have sole rights to Darth Vader tee-shirts until the 22nd century. How does that promote anything useful?

@Professor_Stevens @rbreich

How useful are Darth Vader T shirts?

@hayesstw @rbreich

Depends on who has the legal right to sell them.

@Professor_Stevens @rbreich

So they are more useful if A has the right to sell them, but less useful if B has the right to sell them?

And useful for what?

@hayesstw @rbreich

What is the impact on a super-rich corporation when it can sell a cheap shirt anyone could print? What is the impact on a small start-up when it can sell the same shirt? What is the impact on society as a whole when super-rich corporations can buy the rights to 99% of what people want to buy, and keep them for themselves for two lifetimes?

Owner owned corporations; let the people who do the work own their own labor
@rbreich Query: What are #KamalaHarris policies related to these valid points?
@rbreich I know it's radical thinking but possibly the only way to have an unbiased government is to allow decisions to be made by ChatGPT. It is unaffiliated with any party. Just ask ChatGPT to give the best solution to issues on the docket. No bickering, no partisanship and no lobbiest influence to influence decisions. (and no congressional payroll)
