Your point is a perfectly good one -- you don't need to wrap it in that nasty sandwich.

Sorry, you’re right. My mom died yesterday, I’m not handling it particularly well.

It's rather meaningless from a stranger on the internet, but I'm so so sorry :(

Not sure why you are being so hostile and rude.

Big tech is about revenue. They are not going to give up a large chunk because europe begs them or trump says they should get out of there.

So no, i still dont see any overlap between the motivations of big tech and the us administration.

What about this path: the current US administration plays to the "put America first" slogan, including taking steps to protect the American big tech companies from regulation and/or unpleasantness elsewhere. It is perfectly willing to inflict overall global pain to do so (see tariffs and how lowering them was also conditioned on regulatory concessions for big tech -- when negotiating with the UK or the EU)
