It's suprising that the US still holds itself as the champion of the free market where it's more a corporate Oligarchy. It's clear Apple is trying to be as monopolistic as possible, understable from their perspective, but it's the EU job to regulate it, just a shame of the US fell so deep.
- andsoitis 3y ago> It's suprising that the US still holds itself as the champion of the free market where it's more a corporate Oligarchy. The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal (both American), have been publishing the Index of Economic Freedom since 1995 and don't put the USA in 25th position: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_Economic_Freedom#Rankings_and_scores https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_Economic_Freedom#Rank... In some areas the US is clearly the leader in championing the free market, such as the US Freedom of Navitation Program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_navigation#United_States_Freedom_of_Navigation_Program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_navigation#United_S...
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThe Heritage Foundation & WSJ are both the tip of the spear, driving agenda to let big businesses do whatever they want. Even if America was clearly #1 in corporate freedom, they would never say so; their reason for existence is to commit America to letting big business be less regulated and you only can sell that by making our present stance look moderate or insufficient.
