Please limit businesses to a certain ie 60% market share world wide. For public utilities . Radio stations. Or they need to spin off companies.

Limit the size of banks so we don’t have to big to fail!!

This group of policies has a common thread of of breaking monopolies in the communications/television/entertainment industries. I would propose merging into @TexasPaul post because it covers the monopolies is many market sectors, which many of the other policies then expand on.
