What is Biden admin doing about sourcing batteries for #ecars ? Why does that matter - good New York Times article about China controlling most of the mining, mineral processing, and component manufacturing needed for batteries in electric vehicles.https://mastodon.social/@tanyatussing/110378825072185141Graphic source: https://pngimg.com/uploads/electric_car/electric_car_PNG8.png

The DOJ is challenging Google’s monopoly power in a trial that started on Tuesday. “The outcome of this trial “could determine the future of * artificial intelligence, * search, * newspapers, * antitrust law, and * innovation.”* “It will set precedent for monopolization cases in a lot of other industries.”Follow daily coverage of the trial at:https://www.bigtechontrial.com#Antitrust #Google #MattStoller

The trial “is as much about how the public and members of Congress understand the trial as it is the legal outcomes themselves.”“In other words, this trial isn’t just important because of the potential outcome, but also because the public and lawmakers are paying close attention. We’re going to learn a lot about how the internet itself was shaped, advertising, the coercion and power plays…, …deals between Google & Apple to divide up the world…."#Antitrust #GoogleTrial #BigTech

“So regardless of the final verdict, the facts that come out at trial will help shape the future direction our elected leaders and judges take in addressing our increasingly monopolistic order. The point is, there’s a lot of bullshit in politics, but this trial is the big one, where the debates over big business that have gone on for years meet the law.”#Antitrust #GoogleTrial #bigtech

Matt Stoller update on Google trial: "The government has shown pretty clearly that the search giant is paying large sums of money to block rivals from entering the market. In addition, Google’s gotten busted covering up evidence - or as I put it, Google is following the Stringer Bell rule. In addition, in a separate Google trial, a judge tossed the search firm’s dirty tricks attempt to go after the head of the Antitrust Division Jonathan Kanter as biased."#Antitrust #Google #USvGoogle

Google showed that “consumers, when faced with the choice of Bing, do switch to Google. But the basic narrative of Google as a monopolistic liar is working, and Google’s attempt to show this trial as just the government trying to help Microsoft isn’t resonating. The biggest win for Google is Judge Amit Mehta blocking a public audio feed, so the public just isn’t tuned in.”You can follow daily coverage: https://www.bigtechontrial.com#Antitrust #Google #USvGoogle

"Speaking for his landmark antitrust bill of 1890, Senator John Sherman said: “If we will not endure a king as a political power, we should not endure a king over the production, transportation and sale of any of the necessaries of life. If we would not submit to an emperor we should not submit to an autocrat of trade.”"@pluralistic https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/opinion/amazon-ftc-antitrust-monopoly.html#FTC #Amazon #antitrust

When is Congress going to do their job for American citizens? From #HeatherCoxRichardson :“In a day that was chock full of political stories in which Republicans were launching attacks on Democrats, Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) made a key point. “We have not passed an emergency supplemental, a Farm Bill, or regular Appropriations,” he said. “The story is not what they are doing. The story is what they are not doing.””https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-13-2023#USCongress2023 #MagaMikeAWOL #HCR

"Schatz was referring to specific, vital measures that are not getting through Congress: * the outstanding funding bill for aid to Ukraine and Israel, border security, and humanitarian aid for Gaza; * the Farm Bill, which governs the nation’s agricultural and food assistance programs and needs to be renewed every five years; and ..."

“Now, though, the Republicans are in charge of the House of Representatives, and they actually need to get work done. But extremist Republicans’ skill set involves pushing talking points to create a false reality that demands gutting the government, not legislating, which requires compromise and deep understanding of issues.”#MagaMikeAWOL
