people don’t need to learn that. these things need to be regulated. also Google needs to be broken up to like 12 pieces or nationalized. what needs to happen is companies not have this much power ever.
Famously Americans did the splitting thing once before with Standard Oil and it was immensely beneficial to the economy in general. Just checked the wiki and it was more than 100 years ago. Unlikely the same laws are still on the books.
There are several companies currently active that deserve the same treatment.

There is zero chance that we can get the oligarchy to surrender power peacefully, so that’s not going to happen unless…
For legal purposes this comment is a joke
Circumcision it’s no joke sir.

The same laws are still on the books, actually! We just never use them anymore.
The big one is the Sherman Anti-trust Act.
We also nationalized several enormous companies with arguably excellent results (ConEd, Amtrak, the post-WWI FRA).
Hey we did the same thing with AT&T! Split them into a bunch of smaller companies which then merged back together after a few years…shit…
