And what would my vote change about the situation? Local hosting will be a solution, once the hardware becomes affordable.

Vote for people who want to restore the 1950s federal tax rates that we already had in the 1950s. I find so sad that people ignore history and act like solutions don't already exist. The 90% tax bracket in the 1950s capped CEO and investor yearly income to the 2026 equivalent of 5mil a year. Use that imaginative brain that likes to speculate instead of learning history to image how our entire society changes if no individual can earn more than 5mil a year in all income sources. We also banned stock buybacks and had more regulations put in place after the 1929 collapse and great depression. Those things were removed slowly over the 60s and 70s until a lot was gutted all at once in the 80s. The final blows came in the 00s. All the problems that existed leading up to and during the great depression are back because we reverted all the laws and policies that were put in place to prevent it from happening again. None of this is complicated. Stop worrying about culture nonsense or right wing nonsense. Start voting to tax rich like we did in the 1950s. Why did we have so many local and regional stores back then, but only a handful of conglomerates today? There is no incentive to merge companies by CEOs when it turns two 5mil a year CEO jobs into one 5mil a year CEO job. In that environment, merging is due to actual company need, not CEO enrichment. CEOs will also stop cutting wages, under staffing, and outsourcing. It all stops because they no longer get paid more doing it. This is actual US history, the country boomed economically because of those tax rates and financial regs. This is not something anyone gets to deny, it already happened. Voting against a proven solution is madness.
