@zahlanzi saidNo, not good. Could it be that your unusual life has impeded your ability to understand Amazon and Google, and what they have wrought? I'd wager that you have used google in the last several days.......or minutes!

Are y'all still using carts there, or have you advanced to Henry Ford type vehicles? Geez

@averagejoe1 saidI’m still pissed off that Google acquired Yahoo! and forced me to log off my Yahoo! email when I logged on to gmail. They used to taunt us with the logo “one account all Google”. A**holes.

@averagejoe1 saidyes they have brought about monopolies. they kill competition. If amazon wasn't allowed to turn into the unholy abomination that it is today, we would have more companies bringing your crap to your door

@zahlanzi saidzahlooney, the only monopoly is the goobermint. Which you're a big fan of, they also have a franchise on the initiation of force and threats of force.
yes they have brought about monopolies. they kill competition.
Monopoly + Force
An extremely dangerous combination, of which you're a fanboy.
There are many countries in which they do, literally, kill competition.
Edit: Just saw your edit. Amazon are not a monopoly. The IRD is a monopoly.
@athousandyoung saidWhy do you assume that we would want to stifle billionaires? Jesus, thousand..............
Why do you assume any of us want to motivate billionaires?
@athousandyoung saidIt's business , thousand . You just dont get it, do you? You see, you think that they have a duty of care to you .....sort of like living in Romania. But, they owe you nothing. The answer is to start your own google. Class dismissed.

Let's challenge Zahlanzi to not think about the government all day tomorrow. I never do myself. Do you?
@athousandyoung saidBecause big blue chip companies are important parts of the economy.
Why do you assume any of us want to motivate billionaires?
The 100% billionaires tax means the big companies are capped at 1% of what they are today. That's not a good thing.

@zahlanzi saidGive us an example of a monopoly that is going on right now. You may be surprised at your answer, which would negate your previous paragraph.

I assume you will give us a few one-word answers, some maybe 3,word
