    How do you suggest we do that, as a start? Just “Destroy everything” isn’t a start, it’s a finish.

      these companies are always operating as if they were above any regulations. lets enforce the regulations.

      also break up these companies, each has lots of services that should be its own unrelated company, mostly because the big one has bought up small ones

      Heavily regulate Meta, Amazon, Microslop, and others as corporations, introducing consumer friendly regulations that curb the power these companies have over daily life, impose massive taxes on people who have over, let’s just say 650 million USD in assets (not just liquid money) and give the laws actual teeth. Fines based on percent gross income for the corporation and hold both the CEO AND board of directors accountable for the actions of the corporation as a whole, then remove the ability for non-human persons to make political contributions. Just for a start

        Who’s gonna regulate them? Clearly “the people” aren’t up to the task, considering how free we let the Epstein pedoclass run rampant. Most of our paychecks rely on them. How do we regulate these corporations? And how many steps away from that is getting billionaires to stop fucking our children?

        More of a middle than a start. How do we actually do those things? Do I have to sign paperwork? Do I have to come into the dealership?

        People, especially online, are super good at the middle and end parts that they like to call “a start”. Terrible at actual starts, though.
