I wonder when the EU and others are going to sanction the American oligarchs who enabled Trump

like the Russian oligarchs were / are?

It might change the attitudes of Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk and the others if there were not able to go to Europe or to have to worry about having their assets frozen and taken.

The government broke up AT&T. Found milk cartels. But they can't touch Big Tech, Amazon, X, Meta, NVDA, Apple.

We suffer from a lack of regulation, of using government to breakup monopolies, of government making a fair playing field.

You have places like cnn or msnbc not report the news because they are more worried about the other industries their companies/owners own. The news isnt really the news at this point. It is just repeating propaganda that their owner is ok with the populace hearing.
