I don&amp;#x27;t see people arguing for the breakup of the tech giants across the Pacific even though they hardly have a better reputation when it comes to privacy, etc.&lt;p&gt;By the way, I highly anticipate that the above argument will be made by said multinationals to prevent said breakup&amp;#x2F;anti-monopoly moves.</text></comment>

Maybe the US military should not be spending so much money on bases overseas, and trillions of dollars unaccounted for. We have 800 bases and the rest of the world has 30. The taxpayer funds all of it, but has very little say or oversight.</text></comment>
