#532: Breaking Up Monopolies
from Macroaggressions
The United States government created the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in 1890 because the country was facing serious problems due to the centralization of power into the hands of oligarchs in the oil, steel, and railroad industries. Standard Oil had 91% of the market share in the oil refining industry when it was broken up in 1911, but the remnants remain in the form of Exxon Mobile, Chevron, Amaco, Conoco, Marathon, and Atlantic Richfield. U.S. Steel almost felt the wrath of the Department of Justice, but market forces intervened, and Microsoft could have been broken up in 2001 had it not been for a legal act of God. What current company is heading in that direction towards total market domination, and what could a captured American government even do to stop it from happening? Probably depends on who got campaign donations and who did not.The Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.ioActivist Post: www.activistpost.comSponsors:Chemical Free Body: https://www.chemicalfreebody.com Wise Wolf Gold & Silver: www.Macroaggressions.goldLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comEMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com
