Miguel Afonso Caetano"The corollary is that just because Trump has dismantled the agencies that were buoyed up by the movement, it doesn't make the movement itself smaller or less powerful. If anything, the Trump regime's relentless pursuit of an agenda in service to the rich at working people's expense will only add fuel to the anti-corporate, anti-billionaire wildfire. Trump's tariff chaos might be bad for some parts of the ruling class, but as Van Jackson writes for Labor Notes, there's plenty of plutocrats who love the prospect of a deep recession sparked by global trade chaos:[L]avish tax cuts, deregulation, and an environment friendly to union-busting are just as valuable to most CEOs as a growing economy. What they lose in the stock market, they will more than make up in surplus labor, a fire sale on distressed assets, and Trump’s promise to totally eliminate the capital gains tax. (...) American wealth is more concentrated today than it was in France on the eve of the French Revolution. People are pissed. That anger is out there, waiting to be harnessed by smart political movements: (...) To grab that anger and mobilize it, we need to show people that their rage over specific issues is actually downstream of excessive corporate power. Furious that one company owns every brand of eggs and has used the excuse of bird flu to make record profits?

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The US doesn't have enough qualified tool-and-die makers and other skilled tradespeople to produce the machines that will make the goods that Americans want to buy. New tradespeople can be trained, but acquiring these skilled trades is a process of many years. For the US to reshore its manufacturing, it needs substantial, sustained public investment in capacity-building: loans and grants to train workers and investment in basic research and other non-market goods needed to recover the US manufacturing base.America should do all that, but if it wants to try, it needs a robust, predictable, orderly system of government to build upon. It needs the kind of reliable and orderly processes that make people feel safe about changing trades and going back to school. It needs imports of goods from overseas that can be used to restart the US manufacturing capacity that can replace those imports.But in a market like this one, dominated by monopolies who needn't fear the Trump-gutted FTC, DOJ and CFPB; where cartels have captured their regulators; where Doge-style chaos spreads existential terror about the future, tariffs will only raise prices, without any significant re-shoring or capacity building. The Trump tariffs are a gift to giants like Nike, who have the logistics sophistication to exploit loopholes, demand preferential rates from shippers and brokers, and to pass on costs to their customers. Any domestic company that seeks to compete with Nike will not have these advantages. For Nike – and other dominant companies – the Trump tariffs are just another moat, another obstacle which they can hurdle, but which stops smaller competitors dead in their tracks:"<a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/07/it-matters-how-you-slice-it/#too-big-to-care" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/07/it-matters-how-you-slice-it/#too-big-to-care</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Economy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Economics</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tariffs</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradeWar</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliticalEconomy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Oligopolies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oligopolies</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Antitrust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antitrust</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClassWarfare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClassWarfare</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Neoliberalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neoliberalism</a>

Die Situation dürfte identisch zu der in Frankreich (gewesen) sein.

Bleeping Computer: "As the French competition watchdog explained, the ATT framework fails to comply with GDPR standards due to its lack of neutrality and the overly complicated user experience it implements." <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Datenschutz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Datenschutz</a> <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Monopol" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monopol</a> <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/monopolisierung" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#monopolisierung</a> <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/machtmissbrauch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#machtmissbrauch</a> <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/antitrust" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antitrust</a> <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/kartellrecht" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kartellrecht</a> PS: Ist das <a href="https://iceshrimp.de/tags/Bundeskartellamt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bundeskartellamt</a> eigentlich im Fediverse?
