Break Up Facebook / Amazon / Google?

I can’t wait for 5G. Cord cutting is going to accelerate like crazy, I know it’ll be my reason to do so.
Isn’t Google working on their own wireless network? Or are they just reselling existing networks?
I can’t remember exactly over what, but I think Amazon lost the ACLU a while ago. No so much in support but now Amazon is on their radar.
You should all watch The Creepy Line on Amazon. It’s all about this, has Jordan Peterson and well produced.
Progressives get their way, Amazon pulls out of NY:
it was a remarkable win for insurgent progressive politicians led by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose upset victory last year happened to occur in the district where Amazon had planned its site. Her win galvanized the party’s left flank, which mobilized against the deal.
Under the plan, within 15 years the company could occupy as much as eight million square feet of office space, including office buildings for as many as 40,000 workers.
While polls show that 70% of New Yorkers support our plans and investment, a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project
There ya go assholes!
Anyone see the proposed legislation to separate NY into two states?
I bet our taxes would drop, and democrats would lose a couple of electoral votes with NYC out of the picture.
Imagine what we could charge NYC for NF’s power plant.
This is Amazing. It’s out there that maybe Amazon is actually bluffing on the move and holding out for better terms, lol.
3 billion in incentives for the worlds most valuable public company to build an HQ2 here never sat well with me either, and I’m pretty far from the progressive end of the spectrum.
they should put a major hub in TX or St. Louis over NYC.
I never really cared about this because there has to be some incentive for Amazon to go NY over TN or TX.
There is still so much upside to Amazon. Some of which we haven’t even realized yet.
NY is really going to miss out on that asteroid mining money 
So De Blasio is shitting on AOC over this…
“[The state] would have effectively been paying out $3 billion in incentives [over 10 years] for what would have likely been the equivalent of $27 billion over 25 years. You can play with the math, and you can tell me that there were going to be additional costs, and there likely would have been, but if I handed you $3 billion and you gave me $25 billion back, or you gave me $15 billion back, or $10 billion back, that could have been used for roads, schools, police, and subways, I think that’s a good deal.” - De Blasio
vs.
“We were subsidizing those jobs so for… the city was paying for those jobs. So frankly, if we were willing to give Amazon three…if we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves if we wanted to. We could hire out more teachers, we could fix our subway…” - AOC
So she actually thought the state had $3B cash on hand to give to Amazon. And now that Amazon is gone the state can spend that money elsewhere… except the $3B doesn’t exist.
When De Blasio is the voice of reason AGAINST a progressive I know the end of times is near.
AOC is dangerous.
Cuomo too:
“A small group of politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community … the state’s economic future and the best interests of the people of this state,” Cuomo said in a statement… adding that those who opposed the plan should be “held accountable for the lost economic opportunity.”
TLDR: startups design business models around FB giving them access to certain data, then FB pulls accident to that data.
FB doing a thing…
Those signals include a wide range of on- and off-platform behavior. If you praise the wrong individual, interview them, or appear at events alongside them, Facebook may categorize you as a “hate agent.”
They reference a document but don’t link directly to it.
well that’s all of us.
