#3Neoliberalism/anarcocapitalism has stoned these corporations, I hope it has arrived the day that we start putting them back in line by punishing well these monopolistic practices, anti unions strategies, stock dumping and buybacks, fiscal havens, mass layoffs, etc. it has gone out of hand. Companies can’t just leech out of general population undisturbed

#5This really isn't that surprising. The FAANGs, including Apple, have committed serious anti-trust violations especially their hoarding of talent during the 0% interest rate years to prevent them from starting competitors then freezing hiring and laying off en masse once the interest rates started rising. They really should have to pay damages in the 6 to 7 figure range to each developer who's been looking for work in the mid 2022 to present tech recession that they caused via their monopoly power.

I don't know if it can be called "En Masse" if they STILL have more employees today than during the 0% interest rate years

They don’t. These corporations are incredibly popular among the public. Seriously. Look at any polling and you’ll find Amazon, Google, Apple with higher approval ratings than any branch of government (only the military is close), by high double-digit percentages.
The average American would be happier with Amazon taking over the feds, than the other way around.
