25 questions Congress should ask the CEOs of Apple, amazon, Facebook, and Google when they testify, according to profgalloway
Galloway outlines the questions he'd like Congress to ask the CEOs, including if they think their companies contribute to income inequality in the US, especially as the firms have increased in value even amid the pandemic.The CEOs of Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Google are scheduled to testify in front of the US House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee. Some thoughts…
Big tech has won before the hearing starts. Agreeing to let all four testify concurrently inhibits the committee's ability to go deep on any one issue, and will leave the American public with a sentiment instead of a viewpoint on big tech, much less any conclusions .

The effective panelists at these hearings use the witness as a prop to stamp their passport on the way to the destination . The strategy is simple: ask a question, share screen/visual, unshare so public can see an awkward reaction by witness, allow five seconds max for answer, interrupt, and wash/rinse/repeat. So, as I'm hoping to be unanimously approved as US Ambassador to Australia in the Biden Administration , here are my suggestions for visuals and questions:Q: Messrs.
