1. La urgencia de revivir el espíritu de "Trust-Busting".
Los ciudadanos exigen la reactivación y actualización de leyes históricas como la Ley Sherman Antimonopolio para frenar la consolidación desmedida de las corporaciones que asfixian el libre mercado y amenazan la democracia.
- Bring back enforcement of the Sherman Anti Trust Act. Too few companies now control most of our media and most of our commerce.
- We need a new era of anti trust suits to break companies up, because the larger a corporation gets the shittier the products they offer us will be.
- Time to bring back the anti-trust hearings and legislation. I feel, as a individual in a great big universe, that big business has gotten too big. And too big dosent appear to be healthy for democracy!
2. El control oligárquico de los medios de comunicación y la tecnología.
Existe una profunda preocupación por cómo un puñado de multimillonarios y conglomerados tecnológicos controlan la narrativa pública, limitando la diversidad de opiniones y destruyendo la libertad de prensa.
- We must use anti-trust law to break apart these media conglomerates owned by the richest anti-democracy pos in America.
- The US seriously needs more anti-trust laws in the media business. Breaking up the big companies should be prioritised.
- Just remember that as of last week, all big media is owned by Ellison thanks to the WB shareholders approval of Paramount-WB merger. The propaganda is only going to get worse.
3. Consecuencias económicas: Monopolios, inflación y abuso al consumidor.
La falta de regulación y competencia real ha permitido prácticas abusivas como la fijación de precios, tarifas excesivas en servicios básicos y el deterioro generalizado de la calidad de los productos.
- This is what happens when anti-trust laws are ignored and the rich and corporations are allowed to consolidate market power - both retail and supply chain.
- High prices and bad service in the airline industry are symptomatic of a problem that afflicts the whole economy consolidation. When only four companies control the market, comsumers suffer.
- Dynamic pricing is already illegal. Its price fixing. Which violates US anti trust act. An act USA has refused to enforce for this whole century.
4. La erosión de la confianza pública y la corrupción institucional.
La influencia del dinero en la política, el cabildeo corporativo y la inacción gubernamental han destruido la fe de los ciudadanos en las instituciones democráticas y en el sistema judicial.
- Government corruption festers in the shadows, poisoning public trust. Its time to shine a light on cronyism and nepotism.
- We need to restore trust in our government. Not by getting Democrats or Republicans in control - but by getting corruption out.
- White collar crime is vastly more harmful that street crime. It undermines trust in govt, in businesses, in contracts, etc. Our society runs on trust.
