It is absolutely the the role of government to regulate commerce and establish competitive markets (note the lack of the word free here).
I also have zero faith in tech leadership as they have been the major driver of mass misery across humanity. Not only should they be stripped of their positions in their companies, but leadership should be directly given to the workers.
It's the only way to right to the wrong. If it's good enough for executives (voting for other executives, pay packages, and company direction), it's also good enough for workers.
How did iRobot hurt anyone? It seems like Warren hurt their workers by denying them the opportunity to keep their jobs. Moreover the whole home robotics industry no resides in China where the companies are run in an even more authoritarian fashion.
This company would have probably flourished if it had workplace democracy but instead it was a centrally planned dictatorship and failed.
Maybe that is the real lesson here.
