Monopolistic practices? Please. Are you going to try to argue that
Amazon is somehow a monopoly? I can go online and buy pretty much anything I want from no fewer than 10 websites without even having to try very hard. And if I don't want to do that, I've still got a bunch of brick and mortar retailers I can go shop at. Monopolistic power my ass.
And Facebook. The horror, they've cornered the market on the ability to post what you ate for breakfast. How will we ever survive with the power to "like" photos being so concentrated with a single company.
Microsoft and google you maybe have a better argument, but you're free to use bing, or yahoo instead of google. And apple and android (google) seem to be doing ok despite Microsoft's "monopoly".
Oracle? Ever heard of SAP? Or workday? Or sage? Oracle has about 12% marketshare? Monopoly? Seriously?
What monopolistic practice is Buffett engaging in to further enrich himself? Smart investing?
Bloomberg? Yeah, he had a monopoly on Bloomberg terminals back in the 90s... but now it's just a financial data and media company. And hardly a monopoly.
Nice try though.
