Why do you think tech oligarchs have been cozying up to the Trump admin? They're angling for a government bailout, paid for by your tax money!

It is a purely factual statement. The silbling commenter already provided some sourcing, but it should be obvious to anyone with any knowledge of history. The only ideological move is your continued refusal to address the factual claims - i

I'm so tired of this talking point. Either follow our laws or get the fuck out of our market. There's no special right for American companies to ignore our rules and when they get fined for breaking them, that's just rule of
