Trump to break up Amazon and Google?

[renard_ruse]

Trump calls for anti-trust investigations of major internet companies. Just when I thought he couldn't get better, he finds a way to top himself.

I've been calling for Google to be broken up for years.

Go The Donald! Break up the bastards!!!

And after Warren Buffet bought a billion dollars of Apple stock yesterday, he announced he wants to buy yahoo.
Coincidence?

Unless we start with the banks (breaking up the banks) there is no real change.

How?

Any such action is based on the assumption that such companies have a permanent fixed physical existence in time and place. The 'rules' applicable to national manufacturing economies cannot be effectively applied to global service entities, particularly when the capital they employ and the profit they generate can be moved at the speed of light. The only effective control is to tax their revenue stream at the time and place of its generation.

Old fashioned trust busting won't work.
