Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks with Anand Giridharadas at the South by Southwest conference and festival in Austin on March 9. South by Southwest can be a kingmaker for the buzziest new apps -- Twitter and Foursquare first took off in previous festivals here. But this year,Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s barreled through the conference like an electric scooter on a crowded sidewalk.
The Technology 202 on Saturday interviewed Warren backstage at the Moody Theater, in a dressing room where photos of rock legends lined the walls. Here’s our conversation, edited for clarity and brevity: "It’s like in baseball. You can be the umpire; that’s like the platform. Or you can own the team; that’s one of the businesses. But you don’t get to be the umpire and own the team in the league." It's not even hard. Right now 49 percent of all [online] retail sales come to Amazon. For comparison, about 9 percent of physical retail sales go to Walmart. Any small business that wants to do online retail pretty much has to be on Amazon.
It’s easy for a fascist!
Senator Elizabeth Warren lives in a $5.4 million dollar mansion, claimed “Native American” status to score a Harvard gig paying $350,000 to teach one class, and now lectures us that “the system is rigged to benefit the rich.”
false smoke signals coming from your teepee
Like it’s “ easy” to win a trade war?
Yeah, breaking up successful companies is WAY easier than building them. And you don’t need to risk anything personally to do it!
OH MY GOD THAT SOUNDS SO DONALD
Get lost, Pocahontas. In Iowa, please. Thank you.
Far leftists love this. And that’s what the media is pushing. Good luck in 2020.
And the Warden approach gives overseas firms more clout
tech bros: so you think you can just 'break up' Amazon, Google & Facebook? ewarren:
Democrats will destroy America if they're allowed to keep going the direction they are going
There still is the Sherman Antitrust Act. Facebook is the new Standard Oil, Zuckerman the 2019 Rockefeller. (Replace FB by AMAZON or Google if you like). Ceterum censeo Facebook delendam esse.
Google ?
Sorry... I cannot agree. As a former systems engineer who worked on the TCA telecommunications breakup, it is incredibly difficult and open to corruption at every step.
You just march the troops in...
America needs a new Teddy Roosevelt to 'save capitalism from itself' America needs Elizabeth Warren
She's trying to out-Bernie Bernie now. lol
This is something SenSanders might say. Act fast Bernie, she is stealing your show.

Establishment Democrats are their own worst enemy. You have the House, now do something to stop the 🍊🤡. Instead you want to dismantle American companies? 🤨
Democrats are so confused...

I'm all for shutting down Facebook, but lets look at the biggest problem we have in modern times, our own government. SenWarren
Let's get Amazon out newspaper business first.
Blue states have the highest income inequality tbh
Yeah, it’s easy, get rid of parasites like Warren. Career politicians are worthless
