1 would require the election of radicals to high office
How does Theodore Roosevelt fit into this model? How does JFK/Johnson fit into this model?
edit: What I see as more likely is regulations that preserve shareholder value and enshrine these companies as utilities, erecting barriers to entry so high that they become permanent monopolies, while (hopefully) slowly reigning in the wild profits.
That's 180 degrees away from where I'd go. Change regulations to favor new competitors arising. Right now, big tech companies seem to comprise a faction which sometimes colludes to crush potential competitors.
- nkingsy 8y agoTR was punted to the vice presidency to get him out of New York because he was too radical. Johnson and JFK pushed through some of the most progressive civil rights and anti poverty measures this country has ever seen. By today’s standards all three would 100% be considered radicals, and were considered so by their contemporaries. Edit: I didn’t say what I want to happen, just what I thought was most likely. Strange reason to downvote Edit 2: I think Vietnam weighs heavily on LBJ and JFK. I personally lay that on the feet of the military industrial complex coopting an inexperienced JFK, and LBJ doing everything he could to see through his predecessors policies.
