Hi, I came across this issue and I had a couple questions about it. First, will this strengthen my Information Technology industry at all? Also, what effects would option 1 have on my economy, civil rights and political freedoms, if any? Thanks for your help
The Issue
The CEO of Gran Cienaga software, hardware, and electronic headwear giant Microcosm, Inc. has been brought before the Supreme Court for violation of antitrust laws.
The Debate
"These allegations are absolutely ludicrous!" shouts Microcosm CEO Hope Jong-Il from out the window of his 90-foot stretch limo. "Just because rival companies are incapable of producing products as brilliant as mine is no reason to punish ME! I say it's high time we abolish these idiotic antitrust laws and give big business the freedom to serve the public better. After all, I'm in this business for the people!"
[Accept]
"Microcosm must be shut down immediately," argues CEO of Computers, Computers, Computers! Klaus Clinton from out the window of his clunky, exhaust-choked used car. "I can't get a foothold to compete in the market because those bigwigs in Microcosm have that foothold by the throat! It's high time the government stepped in and helped out the little man, and the best way to do that is to shut down the big, oppressive, corporate gurus in Microcosm and beyond."
[Accept]
"Verily, I say unto thee, none of this would have happened wouldst thou not have stopped the problem before thou didst start it," argues Brother Fleur Gutenberg of the Gran Cienaga Amish community from out the window of his horse-drawn carriage. "We must doest as the Lord commandeth and abolishest the evils of computers and the Internet entirely. Only whenst we harken unto the Lord's commandments mayeth we truly be spiritually blessed."
