In America, any business should have a fair shot at succeeding. Today @ChuckGrassley and I are introducing a bill to stop tech companies from squashing competition and raising prices for consumers.
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley Lmfao imagine thinking the evolution of technology increases prices rather than dragging nominal costs to zero. What a fucking 🤡🤡🤡 show
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley You are about 10 years too late. All of the great consolidation of power occurred already.
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley Uhhh... ma'am technology is getting cheaper. Work on more important things and use your brains please.
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley Wait. What? Thats not how tech works. They either give it away (google, Facebook) or they cram as much new tech into a form factor and not charge more. And upstarts challenge laggards all the time. Nothing remains constant — except innovation and change. Bureaucrats run amok.
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley Dear Senator, you are embarassing yourself. Tech companies can be big, mean, but they haven't done that by raising prices. Yours truly,
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley Who, exactly, is raising prices for consumers? Is there a specific, documented instance that this bill is designed to address — where a tech company squashed competition and then raised prices for consumers after?
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley How in the world do Tech companies raise prices for consumers Are you making this up
@amyklobuchar @ChuckGrassley Does anyone have any examples of this happening?
