There have been lots of other abusive "platform" businesses in the past - famously, 19th century railroads and their #RobberBaron owners were so obnoxiously abusive that they spawned the #trustbusting movement, the #ShermanAct, and modern competition law. Did the rail barons do enshittification, too?

How could the collapse of our #healthCare system possibly be due to decades of #robberBaron #politicians filling their boots! WE HAVE LAZY DOCTORS!

IT MAY NOT BE 3D CHESS, BUT IT'S A GOOD PLAN

#Biden's attack on #plutocrats & #robberbaron legislation sets the stage for raising the #socialsecuritytax above the $168,000 limit, which will swell social security coffers:

*Biden has endorsed raising the payroll tax cap on upper earners to expand #SocialSecurity payments. He sought to expand Medicare benefits for dental, vision and hearing services, but that effort was blocked by a few centrists, mainly Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.*

Can't state the reason but does anyone know a famous fictional #RobberBaron or evil powerful #mystic from #gilded age #literature? Maybe from 1900-1920 even.
