Monopolies got us to this point. Another monopoly isn't going to save us.

The solution is politics, regulations, and enforcement. These companies are breaking laws, and have even been found to do so in court (see how many times Google has been found to be a monopoly, for example). The problem is spineless and/or corrupt judges and politicians not doing anything about it.

But just a few weeks ago, MAGA seemed unstoppable, and today it's completely dead. There are still corrupt dems in power though, and they're going to try to steer us towards the same do-nothing equilibrium of before, so we gotta keep the pressure up. This is a great time to write to your elected officials, especially the ones who weren't up for reelection this cycle.
