Elizabeth Warren announced her candidacy for President and made breaking up tech companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple a core plank of her platform.
Tech companies have tons of competition and don’t need to be broken up. Warren’s ideas on Apple especially are moronic. Separating the App store from Apple destroys the value that Apple is trying to provide by having a closed and safer ecosystem.
Further, Warren is a coward for going after the easy target of tech companies while the true enemies of freedom such as the dictators of Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, and North Korea expand their power and hurt American interests.
Attacking American tech companies just does these dictators jobs for them…
Breaking them up would unleash greater competition, which would create more jobs, a broader tax base, and more innovation. Look at the U.S. Department of Justice’s case against Microsoft in the late 1990s, which — even with a mixed result — delivered a message to stop killing small companies.
Otherwise, Google would never have been born. Period.

P.S. I hate Elizabeth Warren
