Apart from conflicts of interest, do any of these people, Democrat or Republican, make an issue of the fact that T-Mobile is own by a foreign, hence potentially hostile (maybe in fact hostile), government? An issue was indeed made of T-Mobile's ownership when it first was allowed to enter the US market decades ago, and the US was given assurances that the company was going to be fully privatized and the German govt would divest its shares. But T-Mobile is a division of Deutsche Telekom, and the German government is STILL the principal shareholder in Deutsche Telekom with fully 28% of its shares as of this writing. It's just amazing that no one ever talks about it. Just from the point of view of fair competition, this is obviously inacceptable. To say nothing of national security.
You know what’s going on! They never mention that T-Mobile is really the German Government operating the most valuable telecommunications company in the world. And T-Mobile bullied their way into America with buying Voicestream back in 2001 - the European Union threatened a trade war with America if they didn’t approve the purchase.
Good luck trying to expose this. It is an uphill battle to say the least. And, btw, Substack did not notify me about your "like" or your reply. I don't want to think that Substack is behaving as insidiously as "X", but this is worrying sign.
