It's interesting to see how all these assorted tentacles are connected or inter connected all over the world. No wonder, we have all these dependency's on China and so many other countries. It makes one wonder if if we could survive in isolation.

When your company is worth billions, these corrupt people are able to buy up everything else and simply eliminate the competition.

Like what Biden and this corrupt government are doing to Trump.

We can.

But we have allowed a bunch of foreign interests to buy up rights to our American companies and form them into conglomerates which would not be legal in the US but quite common overseas where giant monopolies are the way things are done.

However those rights can be severed at any time the US government cares to do it.

Any number of countries have done it in the past. They either force a sale to local interests or just simply sever those rights and hand them over to local interests.

Really stupid countries just nationalize the foreign owned businesses but since governments can't run a basic call center that is a sure way of running them into the ground.
