I have been struggling with this situation as I believe the big tech companies have abused their position in the marketplace. However, my conservative values kick in and remind me that the government is not the solution, especially a liberal government. Warren thinks Apple should not be able to sell their apps in their Apple store. How insane is that? If it is their store they should be able to sell their stuff in it. The solution is for the consumer to change their behavior, not wait for the government to fix it.

For a country that was founded on freedoms, why does the democrat party want to tell all businesses how to run itself, tell its people how much they can earn, what guns they can own, what they can drive, what they can say, where their religious beliefs are not allowed, what energy sources are allowed, how they can travel........but we can choose what sex we are?
