The bottom 90% is owning an ever smaller share of the economy, while the real economy doesn't seem to grow that much.
- ImJamal 2y agoIf a Chinese company has a monopoly you get All those things, minus the US jobs. It seems like you are comparing small companies vs large companies, rather than US vs Chinese.
- AshamedCaptain 2y agoCue the uncountable number of Chinese jobs generated by overseas companies / the US monopolies, indirectly or directly....
- ImJamal 2y agoDo you think a Chinese company results in more US jobs than a US company?
- thrance 2y agoOk, well in that case, sure. But the alternative to US monopoly is not automatically Chinese monopoly. No one was advocating for the destruction of Google in favor of Baidu or whatever.
- ImJamal 2y agoThe person you were responding to was explicitly comparing US vs Chinese monopolies. Maybe it is a false dichotomy, but that was the situation that the post was brining up.
