Neat!
Do Amazon and Facebook too.
Lets call back to classics and do it to AT&T again, too.
There should just be a law that just periodically breaks up AT&T every few years.
Why not every large company, just for good measure?
Make more than x, or pay your CEO more than y% more than the rest of the employees? Instant breakup!
Society might actually be good!

AT&Tall companies every few years.Given capitalisms inevitable march towards monopoly, this would just be good business.
AT&T De-reunion Tour
AT&T classic or new AT&T (Verizon, sprint/t-mobile)?
Yes.
Fuck it, break up Cincinnati Bell and the other remaining baby bells while we’re at it just for fun
And then everything too big to fail! Too big to fail = too big.
It's not like the knowledgeable people, or systems/infrastructure all disappear if a business fails. Business is basically a bunch instructions for people moving a bunch of shit around for money. Literally nothing about it is so unique it cannot be reproduced.
And then also Physically split up Elon, billionaires need to learn how to exist in a society of laws and consequences instead of above it.
Physically split up Elon
Draw and quarter the rich
Also break up ISPs. I have the local monopoly and 4 red herrings providers allowed to operate to give the illusion of competition.
Nationalize ISPs. Internet access is a utility, no one should be profiting off of it.
And force fiber installation. I have plenty of fiber in my area... it just stops at the boundary of every apartment complex.
Oh my gosh.
My town advertised fiber rollout with a completion by the end of 2023.I asked about any projects for my street because it's no longer 2023 and the clerks couldn't find any road permits for running it through the conduit
I live in a community of rental homes.
My area would get reasonable fiber coverage by the time we figure out how to stream cat videos over entangled particles to a phone.
How about we nationalize all three instead, start operating them for the public good?
