Chuck Schumer is a sellout for big tech - FFN

Why Is Chuck Schumer Trying To Stop Antitrust Reform?

Because Chuck is a demon sent by the tech companies to ensure they have monopolies over our world of technology. Confirmed: Chuck is a Tech Demon! His child, Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist at Amazon, according to New York state records. His other child, Alison Schumer, works at Facebook as a product marketing manager. His spawn are also tech demons! Alison Schumer also advocated against regulation as a public affairs manager for Airbnb, the technology company that has in many ways distorted housing markets worldwide. Schumer’s staff has been a revolving door for Big Tech. According to the New York Post, more than 80 former Schumer staffers have gone on to subsequently work at the Big Tech firms.

We’re all familiar with the concentrated market power of giant technology companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon, which reach into all corners of Americans’ daily lives. For more than a decade, their monopolistic dominance has spawned Justice Department investigations, congressional hearings, civil lawsuits, and legal penalties. Over and over again, antitrust bills are discussed and some are introduced—and then they die in the House and the Senate.

Now, though, two bills that would begin to rein in the power of companies like these Big Tech behemoths are under consideration in the Senate. They’ve both passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by impressive margins and are ready for a full vote. But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been dragging his feet on bringing them to the floor.

And if you happen to think big tech and monopolies are good they really are not. It actually decreases innovation and society would be much better if we broke up some of these monopolies. Splitting up Amazon / Amazon Web services, Facebook / Instagram / What’s App, Apple / App Store, Google / Youtube would be a great start.
