(1,372 posts)I worked for a large company and they said in the 80s that the larger businesses would buy out the small and in the end there would be 2-3 major players in our business.
I thought that this was leading us back to monopolies but "knew" that there were laws against monopolies and figured that something would be done about it.
When I was little my parents would talk about the "Great Depression" and I would ask
"What if it happens again?" and my mother would tell me that there were laws in place that wouldn't allow that to happen again.
Talk about DUH!
What the hell are we paying our congress for if not to remember and follow the laws that were put in place to protect us from this shit!
We need to start writting to congress and demand that the laws be obeyed and get large businesses t spin off their purchased competitors and we need to get the banks to split up.
After all, if the laws are already there we just need to get them focused on the right tasks.
Then we need to get congress to list all the laws that protect us (like the 10 commandments)
and have them displayed in the front of both houses to remind the idiots what the rules are!!
I also asked Pelosi (when she was speaker) to start every session with a reminder that all actions and laws created are supposed to be to better the lives of all America people.
This - "Oh gee, we forgot" shit is for the birds!!
