It's scary that the amount of money that they pay is bigger than the whole annual budget of my country.
You can run a whole country of 2M of people with the money that google pays to apple just for making their search engine the default one.
How do you regulate a corporation that's bigger than the government?
- anon23432343 3y ago"The free market will regulate itself"
- vincnetas 3y agoYes, but not to the advantage of the weakest participants.
- anon23432343 3y ago"The Free Market" does not have this concept. Libertarians don't have this concept. Right wing is the opposite they love to attack the weakest. The hustle culture only thinks about money. The Blockchain boys only think about money. Who has time for the weak? Not the free market.
- zirgs 3y agoWell in this case many governments are weaker participants than big corporations.
- zirgs 3y agoIt's scary that someone somewhere at google can decide what to do with larger amounts of money than many governments of sovereign countries. Who exactly decided to pay 19B to apple? What is their decision making process? Do they vote on it or what?
