Pope Bob, anti-monopolist. #BreakEmUp

One of the best things #mnleg has done in recent years was ban noncompetes and the arguments for carving it up (the first of many from the corporate lobby I’m sure) are total nonsense. This is simply about grabbing power away from workers. From the @minnesotareformer.com. #BreakEmUp

Great example of the need for more grassroots state antimonopoly infrastructure. You can’t out lobby Big Tech but you can out organize them. If legislators only hear from “experts” on these issues, the deep pockets will win every time. #BreakEmUp

I wrote about some of the ways #mnleg can protect workers from monopoly power. #BreakEmUp

If you doubt the importance of states in fighting monopoly power, one of the nation’s top antitrust enforcers emphatically disagrees. #BreakEmUp

I’m terrible about posting these days, I feel like what I have to say should be weighed before posting. But I can say with my whole chest that reading Break’em up by Zephyr Teachout is absolutely worth it. If it’s not on your TBR you should add it. #Breakemup #tbr #nomoremonopolies #donotpassgo

Owatonna nurses' statement on layoffs blames Mayo Clinic Rochester (ABC 6 News) - The Minnesota Nursing Association chairs at Owatonna Hospital said Mayo Clinic Rochester directly contributed to layoffs.

Mayo's boardroom doesn't know us, and they don't care if they rip up rural healthcare across SE MN. All they care about is building their mecca in Rochester.

We trusted Mayo, it built a monopoly, and now it has us over a barrel. It's a very bad situation. #BreakEmUp www.kaaltv.com/news/owatonn...
