By what standard are you claiming justification besides “it has been done before”? > so a government is free to impose whatever constraints it wants on corpora

  It's the truth. Unilateral control is the reality, and I'm interested in exploring how to harness it to improve the lot of humanity. For example, I think Stripe should be able to compete with Apple to be a payment provider on Apple's platform. As I said, I would be a fine with a world where if Tim Cook doesn't want to play by the government's rules, he is jointly and severally liable for Apple's debts. There are real benefits that come with being a corporation. There need to be responbilities to society as well.

    > It's the truth I realize that the federal government /can/ do things, it's whether they/it /should/ do them. "I want them to" and "It's been done before" don't fly. These are contracts between willing participants, none of which have been broken. The federal government would be overstepping proper bounds to interfere. > Unilateral control is the reality Yes. Which is why we should minimize the regulation coming out at the federal level. > There need to be responbilities to society as well. They owe you nothing. They provide a product, you either buy it or you don't.
