I really would prefer them to go after Amazon and Apple before Google, or at least all of them at once.

They should practice on ISPs and other broken industries first before these level 0 bureaucrats head straight for Dracula castle after not doing their jobs for 50 years and the Bell system re-merged. Kill Verizon & atnt, for instance

Rather they are buddies with Dracula, so should at least play better than this

They’re actually going after all of them at the same time. They’re just at different stages in each case.

Man, there's such a long line of companies that need breaking up, I can't see the end of it. The entire global economy is currently controlled by monopolies and oligopolies.

It’s sorta like multinational corporations can get away with their shenanigans since they don’t have to strictly abide by a nations set of rules.

Agreed. Roll up the sleeves and get to work.
