    Gotta wonder why they’re saying this now? What’s the agenda?

      The new-ish Federal Trade Commission head has been making a push to work on quite a few projects for the past couple of years. They have a very small resources and man-power compared to the war chests of multibillion dollar companies, but recently, somehow managed to bring charges against Google as a monopoly. This in my opinion is a good thing. I consider myself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I don’t like how our government seems to take the money of these companies and turn a blind eye as they do what they want in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I support her endeavors working for the interests of the majority of people and not those few with the most money.

        What country do you live in?

        Because in the US, the government gives money to corpos. That’s how the entire regime works lol

        Politicians take donations sure but that’s not the government. That’s private regime whores living off corporate cash while handing out state aid Boeing intel and tech companies among many other parasites.
