“It’s the oddest thing. The more America’s Big Tech companies such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter have contributed to keeping America’s economy afloat during the coronavirus lockdown, the louder the voices get to break them up or to tie them up into regulatory knots.”
How much did these companies contribute to making the lockdown happen via advocacy and propaganda in order to gain market share?
Amazon, for example, runs the Washington Post.
This influential newspaper advocating for the close of businesses and lockdown in turn brings greater market share to Amazon by closing down its physical store competitors and making people ordered to stay at home more dependent on Amazon.
How many people may have bought from Amazon for the first time ever because they had to?
The "free Market" is such a brave new thing!
