Really Lazy Reporting, Part 5

Please, just please, don’t make grandiose one-off statements in your article.

These problems have only grown worse with the coronavirus pandemic, as smaller businesses succumb to the economic damage, and changing patterns in teleworking and retail accelerate in ways that make Americans more reliant on technologies produced by a few firms. Shares in the Big Four, along with Microsoft, Netflix, and Tesla, added $291 billion in market value in just one day last week. The dangers of Big Tech domination are more profound now than they were even a few months ago.

What a cool way to show “smaller businesses [succumbing] to the economic damage” of COVID-19. $291 billion? That’s so big. The U.S. government needs to step in. Tesla has recorded a profit at least four times.
