So we're moving from "it never happened, it's crazy!" to "of course it's happened before, but it's different this time, so I just falsely pretended the time before didn't happen"? Of course each case is different. But Presidents interfered in economy of private enterprise for a while - including criticizing CEOs, firing CEOs, and many other intrusive acts - especially after (and including) FDR, and pretending nobody before Trump ever did it is either ignorant or disingenuous. If you don't like what Trump is doing, great, explain why, but don't falsely claim things like that didn't happen before. They did.

But American government was always at the wheel, via regulation, law, and drinks in DC off the clock.
It's all PR to say our system free market and the like. Intel wouldn't exist without falling in line over the decades.
Lose the argument, change the conversation? An old tactic, but a stupid one.
In what ways was the PC revolution propped up by the government?
