Unfree Non-Market

Emily, most people wonโ€™t have a kajillion dollars like you to be able to read that, but below because Iโ€™m feeling generous Iโ€™ll show everyone how to read it anyway โ€” no special extensions required.

I agree that regulation is crucial but it is not enough. If you mean โ€œregulationโ€ in the sense of the Sherman Antitrust Act (which the article mentions), then regulation could include break-ups, which would be a pretty good outcome. But in many cases I think we need to go much further than regulation can encompass โ€” that in fact, many of those entities should be nationalized as they are vital public services that canโ€™t be left in the hands of the โ€œfreeโ€ market. That canโ€™t work and it obviously does not โ€” the evidence is everywhere.

Now, I will tell the hoi polloi how to access this article.

First, go to Google and search for the headline, โ€œThe Big Tech Extortion Racket.โ€ When you locate the right link, find the tiny down arrow on the upper right and choose โ€œCached.โ€

The cached version will then open. Then click โ€œText-only versionโ€ to, shockingly, get a version that is only text.

Then use the โ€œReaderโ€ feature of your browser to format it for improved readability.
