This is a Gish Gallop of completely unrelated things.
Tech companies can become very powerful without holding a monopoly. All it takes is being big enough to have political sway either through being a big employer or just by straight up lobbying.
The US has a few big banks and then hundreds of regional banks. It’s trivial to bank without using the big ones.
Prohibiting a post breakup Google from contracting with each other is completely idiotic. Either they make sense as standalone businesses or they don’t. Why wouldn’t Google search be allowed to use GCP but be allows to use AWS? If they are different companies they will use what is best for the company and regulating that they use something worse is bad for everyone.
Min wage unrelated
Gig job unrelated
Medical insurance unrelated
