Maybe they'll make Nvidia pay a special tax to allow them to sell certain chips in China. Or use the FCC to pressure TV stations to remove shows they don't like. Or force mergers and acquisitions between companies they like. Or impose high tariffs to force Americans to buy only government-approved products. Or have government take stakes in private companies. That does sound scary. Someone should put a stop to it.
