Break them up. No company should control more than maybe 10% of the sector they do business in. Possible exceptions for national defense industries, or possibly some complex manufacturing like chip fab or maybe the auto industry. Although, I have to admit, I’d like to see more car manufacturers.

We have too many big companies. We’d get more innovation from smaller companies.

Yes, dangerous for investment and easy prey for gubmint manipulation.

They need to be busted into smaller, more local pieces.
