The proposal would broaden antitrust law beyond the 40-year-old consumer welfare standard, the framework that has dictated antitrust policy in the U.S. for a generation.

More useless nonsense

She is from the government and here to help you. 👵

States Can Break Up Big Banks. Here’s How.

Unionize and as Nick said, watch those jobs go to China, India & Korea like &$ through a tin horn.

What is she drinking

Whiny Joe Kernen just flooded his Depends at this news.

And then she takes away the union healthcare

What about right to work states?

Unionize & those jobs go to India, China & Korea like......

Totally agree with the gig worker unionise. But what the theory behind stopping the mergers?

when you try to find 1 major gig economy company that actually makes money

I’ll take, Bills that are DOA for $100.

Billionaires be afraid. Good.

The whole reason the gig economy exists is because consumers don’t want to pay for all the ‘benefits’ workers get. It’s price not lack of supply that has created the gig economy.

Good keep coming up with these fantasy island policies ElizabethWarren so that your slide into irrelevance continues.

Who cares, she has zero chance of winning the nomination!

15 years ago you would have thought such nonsense was satire.

ComfortablySmug Oh she has big plans alright. Too bad they are all stupid

ComfortablySmug This lady is a hoot

So Amazon and Microsoft can never buy any startup ever again. Makes total sense

Maybe she can do a Bus Tour , The No Brain Tour !

Let’s have more government

Bla bla bla , talk about a mean spirit , the rich can’t support us all?

She sure is scratching the bottom of the barrel for votes

She’s a worst socialist... she wanted all the private sectors to be controlled by her. She is going to ruin this country’s eco overnight if you give her the power.

The democrat presidential field is playing liberal limbo: 'how left can you go.'

The lawyers are going to work overtime as they take American companies offshore.

Another plan. There is only one issue in 2020. These plans and promises won't win elections.

ByronYork & I thought SenWarren was done after the ludicrous $52 Trillion dollar Health Care plan. Now on top of Wall Street disliking her,every Syndicate Desk and M&A desk will drop her. Looks like Mayor Pete will get the nomination now. MAGA MAGA2020 KAG KAG2020Landslide

Get over it not going to happen👺👹👿

Whilst you’re at it how about voting age 16 and right to vote for every resident. Lot’s of Russian live here you know. That will really move you over the top.

ComfortablySmug LMAO

She’s toast.

Dream on

If anyone thinks we have social unrest & division now, just wait until a socialist tanks the economy. The people who consider themselves the “have nots” now have no idea what real pain is. People have taken the comforts of living in America for granted. Liz lives in fantasyland.

Liz Warren will basically guarantee capital flight out of America in droves. The lack of investment will lead to a decline in economy like none of us alive have seen. I loathe Trump, but I also will never vote for this woman who can’t understand the diff btwn reality & fantasy.

I’ll NEVER cast a vote for Trump or anyone who supports him, but if this dingbat is the Dem nominee, I will not vote at all. With an advanced degree in economics & 20 yrs in finance, I can tell you right now her ideas of having govt take over the free market economy will RUIN us.

ComfortablySmug Elizabeth Warren is ridiculous.

What is Warren's strategy to compete against Chinese? Zip, nada zippo stupido

end of capitalism.... what a shame ... she is doing this to get elected..

Ban this ban that. 🙄🙄🙄

Venezuela....Cambridge ma ...

You just make me sick !!!

ComfortablySmug So that will never happen.

ComfortablySmug Sounds communist

LOL! How much more left can she go?

She sucks

ComfortablySmug 😂 like any president has the constitutional authority to anything she plans. Dem candidates are a pandering joke

Yes!!!

She is planning on the downfall of America “WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE ITS TO LATE “😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

ComfortablySmug How do you unionize gig jobs? “Hey you work for that company?. No not really. Cool let’s keep not working for that company.”?

ComfortablySmug She's insufferable.

She's amazing! There is truly not one area of humanity where she isnt an expert! IQ estimate? I'll start. 350.

I think she fell off her horse too many times. legallybae

Of course she is ... ewarren

ComfortablySmug What a load of malarkey.

ComfortablySmug It really doesn't matter what nonsense she is thinking up in the spirit hut this week, because a snowball has a better chance in the Sahara at noon.

ComfortablySmug The more she speaks about her 'plans', the more it becomes clear that she is not the obvious choice.

Listening to the likes of Warren & Bernie one would think the US were transitioning from a free market economy to Socialism. The Democrats have moved too far left.

ComfortablySmug ‘cloudcuckooland like most of her plans.

ComfortablySmug This will definitely help her bounce back in the polls... 🙄

ComfortablySmug She should start small; implement it on her people's reservations, then consider running for President in 2024 when Trump's 2 terms are up.

ComfortablySmug If gig workers unionize ... is that still gig work? Imagine the hilarity of 'gig workers' going on strike😂🤦‍♂️

ComfortablySmug Why doesn't mein führer just assign us an occupation on our 18th birthday?

Bernie announced this a month ago. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It’s wild that she just copies everything Bernie proposes and morons let her get away with it.

ComfortablySmug $40b in annual rev is a weird number That'd be right about 80 on the FF 500 Tyson Foods? No merger for you Oracle? You go right ahead

ComfortablySmug

ComfortablySmug How much can she possibly promise to everyone before voters realize she’s full of crap?

ComfortablySmug Unions are just slush funds for Democrats.

ComfortablySmug Possibly one good thing about ImpeachingHearings is the threat could reign in presidential power.

She's getting scarier.

This..is not...umm, does she know how money in America or the lack thereof works? Her ideas/plans...still advance Russia's agenda.

ComfortablySmug That should lower costs for consumers... BWAHAHAHAHA!!! I couldn’t say that with a straight face. 😂😂😂

How many other freedoms does she want to get rid of. Really it’s still a free country correct.
