TRUMP TARGETS AMAZON...
Capitol Hill wants Facebook’s blood, but President Trump isn’t interested. Instead, the tech behemoth Trump wants to go after is Amazon, according to five sources who’ve discussed it with him. “He’s obsessed with Amazon,” a source said. “Obsessed.”

Amazons business pracitces are very dodgy.
But lets not forget the huge scandal of Facebook employees openly talking about their 'responsibility' to use facebook to prevent Trump from getting elected.

Amazon is clearly going full vertical monopoly. I'm pretty sure they're not paying taxes.
But they're all in the same shit.
The reality is that facebook is possessed by the government, since I'm pretty sure that they benefited from In-Q-Tel, like google etc.. at the start.
But, well, that's all the same liberal bullshit. If a stat can't control the market and ban monopolies, then it's just pure nihilism, and high financial domination. That's what is happening here.
Now, I fucking hate when people oppose liberalism and communist. There is fucking other ideologies! For exemple, ideologies that don't put economy at the center of everything. But I'm not gonna try to convince any american. They literaly have shekels going through their veins.

Remember Lycos and AOL CDs? back in the days before google, the search engine market was already in place.
but somehow 2 guys with an outdated search engine named "google" went billionaires overnight... because the deepstate made a deal with them: we give you a ton of money (we print it anyway) and you give us the insight of what people search and want on the internet. hell, you give us all thei googlemails too.
Same goes for Amazon.
There are a gazillion market places on the internet. But Amazon went global, because they share all the data with the spooks.

The article is filled with misinformation and bias, this one line stood out in particular.
>Behind the president's thinking: Trump's wealthy friends tell him Amazon is destroying their businesses. His real estate buddies tell him --- and he agrees — that Amazon is killing shopping malls and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Absolutely speculation being passed off as fact by fake news journalists.

This is technically true, but regulating Amazon won't fix the underlying issue of absolutely atrocious urban design of everything built in the last century, but that's not really a /tech/ subject.

He's not going to do anything.
Trump and his kikes leak these stories to the press to make themselves look good to their base but they never act on them, it's all hot air.
A month ago Vanity Fair ran an article citing (((sources))) about how Trump was going to go full MAGA, this was right before he appointed John Bolton and the CIA niggers then cucked on the wall.

I'm sure you did not actually read what you linked. Nothing in the Sherman Antitrust act bans monopolies. What it does ban is things like companies agreeing to all have the same price.

Corporations are not people. They are not taxed like people. Corporations pay X tax rate which is fairly low, then when the corporation pays the CEO the CEO pays at Y tax rate (a much higher rate). The money is taxed at least twice.

They have the responsibility to fulfill contracts, so I guess that makes them people. The "personhood" term is political BS. Not what the court ruling says at all.

no but it's socialism. social liberalism (america and the rest of the west) is just liberalism that borrows socialist ideas "because libertarianism is too free"
