Equality: Man Versus Company (A Big Company)
April 26, 2022
I read “DC Attorney General Says Fighting Big Tech Is Like David Versus Goliath.” I learned:
“In a real way, when you take on tech, it’s David versus Goliath,” Racine said in a recent interview with CNBC in his office. “Which means you’ve got to be thorough, studied and precise. And willing to go the distance.”
This statement allegedly comes from District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine.
The article added:
He said he’s not surprised that the tech companies would hire the most experienced lawyers to back them up and engage in a process that “grinds down smaller players and plaintiffs.” And, he said, he has faith that the courts, with a little bit of extra explanation on the particulars of their cases, will come around. “We are willing to take on that David role,” Racine said. “And after all, I think, David won.”
David, as I understand it, used a sling and maybe some help from a higher power. Today’s battle is digital, legal, and informational.
The interesting question is, “Which is more equal in the US men (who in theory enjoy certain rights) or companies (which I believe are persons under current rules and regulations)?”
My hunch is that money decides equality because cash can intervene in the digital, legal, and informational world. Very few are clued into this ability to put the finger on the scales of justice. She’s blind, isn’t she or is it them? (Sorry, I cannot get my pronouns straight.)
