    Senator Elizabeth Warren has pledged that, if elected president next year, she will aim to break up the big tech companies Amazon, Facebook and Google because they have too much control over Americans’ lives.

    “Today’s big tech companies have too much power – too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy,” the Massachusetts senator said in a blogpost. “They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else.”

    Warren, an antitrust advocate who hammered big banks following the 2007-2009 financial crisis, said she would select regulators who would seek to break up what she called “anti-competitive mergers” such as Facebook’s recent buyout of Instagram and Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods.

    She added: “We must help America’s content creators – from local newspapers and national magazines to comedians and musicians – keep more of the value their content generates, rather than seeing it scooped up by companies like Google and Facebook.”

      Editing … You look at a president who takes health care and other benefits from millions, and props up the elites even more than they already were and say he's doing a great job, and your first reaction every time you see anyone question power is always, every single time, along the line of "get fucked." Get fucked yourself nod, your idea of entitlements begins with those in power and ends with those without, your brain's turned backwards. Jesus Christ that's maddening.

      Editing … My idea of entitlement is that you're entitled to what you earn. I've worked my arse off for every single thing that I have, I got nothing free. I have a 4 bed house with gym, I have a car, I travel abroad regularly. Am I in power? Am I fuck. I work hard. I washed cars for minimum wage to buy my house. I got retrained at 40 to keep progressing. Stop moaning and work for things, you can have it all if you try hard.

      Editing … And do you think I get free healthcare? No. The nhs isn't free. Everybody pays 12% of their wages. You so have to pay for your own prescriptions, paracetamol costs over £8 each time. I couldn't give a fuck about Americans healthcare because if they pay insurance they get a far better service then we do. Get a job, pay your health. Stop being entitled. I'm in great health. You know why? I eat a good diet and exercise daily. It's really not difficult, it's all about the effort you put in.

      Editing … god I don't even know how to address the stupidity you just shat out of your keyboard, and I know there's no point because you're never able to defend your opinions and yet you still stick to them

      Editing … You can't address it because you can't find a flaw in it without sounding entitled. How many employees work for the big tech companies? Now take into account their families and we're talking what, a million? You're willing to destroy the lives of people who worked hard, ruin their kids chances of college etc etc etc.
