This is par for the course for a lot of people that have attained the wealth he has. The Koch brothers are another example. Really, WTF are you going to do with all that money?

With Apps instead of computer programs, there is a monopoly, where you can download apps.
Google, Apple, Windows Store, have all colluded to keep competing apps from public to be able to choose.

GAB, is total free speech competition to Twitter and all the app stores removed and banned it.


Google?s app store has banned Gab, a social network popular with the far-right for 'hate speech' - Business Insider

Blah, blah, blah....




Do not post support for Republicans or independent/third-party "spoiler" candidates. Do not state that you are not going to vote, or that you will write-in a candidate that is not on the ballot, or that you intend to vote for any candidate other than the official Democratic nominee in any general election where a Democrat is on the ballot. Do not post anything that smears Democrats generally, or that is intended to dissuade people from supporting the Democratic Party or its candidates. Don't argue there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.
Why we have this rule: Democratic Underground is an online community for politically liberal people who understand the importance of working together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government, and as such we expect our members to support and vote for Democrats at election time. Rare exceptions are granted at the sole discretion of the DU Administrators. (Current exceptions: None.)

Lol. Socialists aren't creating anything. The things you're referring to amount to capturing "network effects". The things you're talking about are monopolies.

The left is reality? Leftist thought consists of idealism, kumbaya songs, unicorns and government programs that actually work.

The real funny part is that Fox and Breitbart regularly rely on the very MSM that they deride for content.

They only deride them when it suits them to rouse the rabble!

Idealism you say? Like trickle down economics? Or the idea that charity will help the needy without government aid? Or that tax cuts will pay for themselves without spending cuts?

Want programs that work? Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA... The fact that the GOP uses them , but doesn't want to fund them is the only real problem.

Besides memes and taunts you got anything to offer?
