    A woman who slept her way to the top and a grumpy old Socialist that combs his hair with a balloon. I hope you are correct.

    She may be a faker and liar, but she is right about this.

    There is no evidence the monopoly suit against Microsoft caused the dot com bubble. If anything, it weakened Microsoft to the point that companies like Apple and Google could rise.

    We have had anti-monopoly regulations for the past 150 years to keep our market competative, and it does make sense into looking into breaking up some of these huge nearly trillion dollar corporations.

    I don't have it either, but I still am not demanding that people who provide me a free service I can use or not are doing me any harm. My point in the last post was that if you don't want to use Facebook you don't have to. If you do you should expect that they will note how you use their website, (and that's all it is really, a website with content and features, it's Zuckerberg's BLOG fer crissake) and then use that data to make it easier for you to get things you probably might want. You don't HAVE to buy anything or do anything and can usually opt out of most anything fairly easily, seems win-win to me, but what the hell, again, nobody is MAKING you use it.

    Fer crissake, I'm about as liberal as liberals get and even I can see that this is bullshit.

    Cut Amazon up into 1024 parts, just like her heritage.

    But one of the faces of the Democrat party

    Break up large corporations private citizens have built and own.
    Tax on wealth, (unconstitutional)
    Eliminate the Electoral college, even by violating the Constitution
    Pack the SCOTUS, to support the lower court oversteps
    Force people who committed no crime to "compensate" people who were not victims of a crime.
    Allow persons they say are too young to make a decision about using alcohol or tobacco or sign a loan to vote.
    Allow person who not only are not citizens but not in this country legally to vote.

    Were you not even an adult then??? Apple was already on the rise and would have shortly become a target. It was already teaching a peak with some correction due with all the startups and Clinton poured fuel on the fire.

    I am somewhat anti-corporate because the corporate system is so utterly divorced from the free market at this point.

    In many cases their business model is simply to exploit state-provided monopolies.

    Banks get first grab of the counterfeit cash.

    Limited liability

    Direct cash subsidies

    Patents and IP

    The system needs massive reform.

    But in the right direction.

    Warren has no chance. She is not intersectional, she has pissed off the wrong people in the DNC with her 1/1024th claim, she is so pro-establishment that somehow she disagrees with the current eatablishment on its expansion.

    Last I saw she was polling at around 6%. Even Kamala "I ****ed a grandpa to get ahead in California politics" Harris is over double that in third place.

    Her Presidential ambitions were over the second she got that DNA test. Neo-Nazis should be contacting her brother for a sperm donation to secure the purity of the white race... she's that white.

    And in today's intersectional left that's a huge problem.

    How about most of the usual suspects that always contend "I am not a democrat or one of our most famous, "I am a registered republican but"?

    any company who most of their employees are outsourced overseas shoudl be split up

    it's a national security issue to have our too big to fail corps run by foreign influences

    Like what companies?

    If you mean Federal Reserve Notes they are not counterfeit and how else would you inject or retract currency in and out of the economy?

    Without which we would all be living very primitive lives.

    Like what, what subsidies to which corporations?

    And no one would ever invest the time or money to produce new products or systems and again we would be living very primitive lives.

    Which direction is that?

    Perhaps not but she has a strong voice that is pointing the Democrats down a path we do NOT want to go.

    As a result of the Clinton DOJ going after Microsoft

    "On April 3, 2000, judge Thomas Penfield Jackson issued his conclusions of law in the case of United States v. Microsoft Corp. (2001) and ruled that Microsoft was guilty of monopolization and tying in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. This led to a one-day 15% decline in the value of shares in Microsoft and a 350-point, or 8%, drop in the value of the Nasdaq. Many people saw the legal actions as bad for technology in general.[33] That same day, Bloomberg published a widely read article that stated: "It's time, at last, to pay attention to the numbers".[34]"

    As I said throwing fuel on the fire.

    The list of republican hating hourly posters that claim "I am not a democrat" is very long. Their support for their party is nonexistent.
    As for the progressive socialists, I consider them just to be uninformed.
