Are you trolling? Her agenda is going after essentially "too big" everything. Banking and pharma have been on her list longer than big tech.

  Her next target: Jupiter.

    Is the implication that trying to break up these companies is an unrealistic goal?
    • shaneprrlt 7y ago
      No, the implication is that Jupiter is big and OP said she doesn't like big things.

        Sorry, I honestly can't tell if you're being cagey or if your point is going over my head.

          I'm literally just making a stupid joke. The curtains are just blue.

  Let's try to engage rationally instead of baseless "are you trolling" attacks. https://medium.com/@teamwarren/heres-how-we-can-break-up-big-tech-9ad9e0da324c https://medium.com/@teamwarren/heres-how-we-can-break-up-big...

    Anyone with a cursory knowledge of warren knows her lengthy history with advocating for consumer rights. I mean, you seem to be trolling and engaging in bad faith. A look at a Wikipedia page would suggest your initial comment was ludicrous. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2019/9/20/20867899/elizabeth-warren-cfpb-founding-plans-obama-president https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy...

    Be the change you wish to see, don’t cherry pick a single article specifically about tech, here’s just a couple about Warrens plans to break up both banks and pharmaceutical companies: https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/15/warren-calls-for-breaking-up-the-banks https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/04/15/warren-calls... https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kzvy4w/elizabeth-warren-is-trying-to-break-up-big-pharma-cartels-by-letting-the-government-make-generic-drugs https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/kzvy4w/elizabeth-warren-i... https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/17/elizabeth-warren-bill-drug-manufacturing-prices-1067916 https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/17/elizabeth-warren-b... https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-warren-eyes-white-house-big-banks-brace-for-browbeating-11548671401 https://www.wsj.com/articles/as-warren-eyes-white-house-big-... While I think “are you trolling” could come off as a bit harsh, it’s better to confront bad faith actors than to engage with them.

      I think your links prove my point, actually. The article you provided is from 2015; her talk about breaking up Big Banks seems to have stopped once she started campaigning and platforming for her current run. Since then, she's focused on Tech. Regarding Pharma, she's talking about allowing the government to produce generics i.e. increase competition to the coporations, which is very different than actually tearing a company apart using antitrust legislation. I don't think even Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos would have an issue with it if that's what she was trying to do with Tech.

  what about breaking harvard and all the expensive school system where she got paid 400k to teach one class and contribute way more to middle class slavery-debt than a social network
