Something of note in all of this... pretty much all tech companies, from hosting to social media to search engines, have insisted for years that they are not “media”, presumably because being “media” comes with added restrictions. I can’t help but wonder how long before Facebook or the Amazon server farms are nationalized. Perhaps not by this administration (given that they seem to be aligned) but the presumably (ultra?)conservative replacement in 4-8 years.
That gets me wondering, it seems that most financial advisers are still pushing Apple, Facebook, etc. as strong investments based on presumed future growth. I wonder what happens when they get nationalized or, at a minimum, broken up Ma Bell style.
