I don’t know what that means - are you proposing that governments not have sovereignty over the states in which they control? Or are you saying that we need to take her tweet in the most literal meaning possible and assume she is intending to use anti-trust as a means to punish Amazon for the sole reason of a middle manager sent a mean tweet?
- Aerroon 6y agoI think the meaning is that because government has a monopoly on force/power that they need to be far more careful about how they word things. It's the kind of outburst you expect to see from a movie villain: "Don't you plebs know who I am?!" But perhaps this shows that some politicians are far more willing to communicate with people more candidly.
- sonotathrowaway 6y agoI think it’s a very contrived and sad attempt to try to make a “both-sides” argument.
