25 Days Later President Joe Ain't Doing a Single Thing About Monopolies

Sleepy Biden/Biden Head: Candidate Joe, Inauguration Joe, Trump impeachment trial Joe



Summary: Monopolies and blatant monopolisers are fine in the eyes of the 'kind' and 'gentle' President Joe, the "do nothing" president who is only "reasonable" in comparison to the low standards set by his corrupt predecessor

ANTITRUST action against Microsoft isn't in the cards, never mind what those thugs did with GitHub and various other sabotage campaigns, the latest of which is the Raspberry Pi. Microsoft is closely connected to the same copyright cartel President Joe regards to be his natural ally.



RasPi for MPAAEarlier this month we broke the story about the RasPi Foundation (RPF) quietly making a deal with the monopoly, in effect promising to interject Microsoft's proprietary software and spying into schools and classrooms, not to mention various scientific institutions. Suddenly, the RasPi became a monopolists' Trojan horse. Judging by media response, Microsoft boosters absolutely celebrate it, whereas longtime RasPi enthusiasts say they will no longer recommend RasPi; some go as far as boycotting it. Shades of what happened to OLPC, so it's truly a shame that RPF didn't heed the warning, instead further escalating the matter. It's almost as if they actively try to provoke and inflame their biggest and most loyal support base (a.k.a. "Microsoft bashers").

"Taking all this into account, and seeing total inaction from President Joe (or "uncle" Joe or whatever the media tries to portray him as) not to mention the persistence of tax cuts for the rich, we ought to take individual actions, which include boycotts."Seeing that "antitrust" remains an illusive term in the US, as recently pointed out by Cory Doctorow, we don't suppose we can rely on the US government for anything of real substance. It has been toothless. The only time the Trump regime took on monopolies it was a personal vendetta (against companies that the con in chief did not like). It actively helped Microsoft with monopoly and enriched the rich. It even bailed Microsoft out (i.e. gave taxpayers' money as a gift to Microsoft).

Taking all this into account, and seeing total inaction from President Joe (or "uncle" Joe or whatever the media tries to portray him as) not to mention the persistence of tax cuts for the rich, we ought to take individual actions, which include boycotts.

RPF has still not done anything whatsoever to de-escalate the situation. It has now been nearly a fortnight. Right now in the media (this weekend) we see lots of puff pieces piggybacking the Microsoft-authored blog post in the official RPF Web site. This is troubling on many levels. One can easily get to impression that in many areas Microsoft already calls the shots at the RPF. President Joe doesn't care. President Joe won't care. This is a government that's largely controlled by the corporations it would otherwise regulate and govern (sometimes fine). They're fine with monopoly. They're fine with a US conglomerate and cult infiltrating a British foundation to spy on and subjugate the world.
