Breaking up big tech would make US markets more competitive, not less.

GP didn’t say all the big tech companies. Just Microslop.

Honestly not sure I find that prospect worse than the American status quo. At least the Chinese regime is a rational actor.

So you're saying the market is weaker with more competition?

Nope, just break up the one that has been consistently found to be abusing their market position. Microsoft has been embroiled in this since the 90s.
China is competing so well because it has a central bureaucracy that issues 5 year plans and issues money to get them done. Do you think America should do that too, or do you think America and China are different countries with different values?
