Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –

It’s about Oxygenating the Market Place Again’

 As the Daily Business News has been reporting for over a year (+/-), the issue of monopolies has become part of the background efforts of the new Trump Administration, in its proclaimed objective of reviving the American Dream, and put the interests of American workers, and the American people first.

President Raises the M-Word, “Monopoly,” Plus Manufactured Housing Industry Market Update$

Tech exec and investor Roger McNamee named the same point that MHProNews spotlighted last month as an example of just how powerful the tech giants, have become.

That example which McNamee cited, is linked below.

Buffett, Bezos – Time Announcement to Drop Market Ahead of SOTU? Plus MH Market Update$

  • Tech investor Roger McNamee and NYU Stern School of Business professor Scott Galloway have been arguing for the regulation of big tech.
  • Companies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook now concentrate power and stifle innovation, they say.
  • The two said monopoly concentration is an age-old problem for the U.S.

McNamee told CNBC that,

 

  • I would like Google to be broken up into eight or 10 different monopolies.”
  • McNamee suggested Amazon be split into three or four companies and Facebook be separated from Instagram.
  • These companies have run unchecked for a very long time,” McNamee said. “The unchecked power produces really bad outcomes.”

While Buffett was not named by the two on CNBC, arguably, the same principles that apply to the tech giants apply to the manufactured housing industry, and the influence of Buffett.

Warren Buffett’s Political Payoff$, THIPS, and Manufactured Housing

Consider the following quotes and points, just some of the takeaways from the video.

  • McNamee and Scott Galloway, a New York University Stern School of Business professor, have long been arguing for the breakup of big tech.
  • Monopolies such as Google, Amazon and Facebook concentrate capital and power and stifle innovation, they say.
  • If one company becomes so powerful, it can deny the mother’s milk of business, which is capital, Galloway told CNBC.New business formation has been halved in the last 40 years. Two-thirds of the stocks have gone away. And it’s harder to build a middle class.”

That’s precisely the point that MHProNews has made time and again, examples linked below.

It’s an age-old problem for the United States. Standard Oil and banks formed monopolies long before Silicon Valley — and the federal government ultimately broke them up or restrained their power,” said CNBC, citing their guests in the video.

The mission of America used to be to create tens of millions of millionaires. If you played by the rules and you saved money, you could become a millionaire,” Galloway said. He added, somewhat lounge in cheek, that “It appears with our policy around letting these guys go unchecked that we’ve decided our new goal as a society is to collectively crown the first trillionaire.”
