    Here’s the thing. Apples platform allows companies to reach audiences in ways they likely wouldn’t have been able to if not for these platforms reach. The App Store isn’t a government invention. Now of course they can’t charge you for half your business but they can charge you for using a platform you did not create.

    Emily Chang blows chunks of dog poop out of her mouth whenever she speaks!

      What other superficial features do you believe are part of of the suite of bona-fide job requirements for an business technology interviewer?

      Joe, I think that’s a you-problem.
      Better to develop tolerance, it serves you well in life.

    I think it won’t matter very much. Congress has proved over and over that they have no clue how tech works. They will ask stupid questions like that time with Mark Zuckerberg.

      It mattered in the 2016 elections. Democrats have to stop this at any cost. Just creates a fake hope among voters.

    Maybe he should ban Steam too. they take 30 % cut too. Most advertising agencies also take 15% cut. Maybe all clothing retailers should be banned too they too take a cut of more than 30% from brands for retailing. This is just preposterous.

    Oh there might be less innovation? Maybe stop handing out free money, so companies have to actually produce something to make profits. If not, then welcome to socialism.
