ELI5: Bernie Sanders wants to 'break up' the big 6 corporations on Wall Street.... What does this actually mean?
gpt
A large corporation has many business units. For example GE makes many consumer electronics. They make electrical components, they make military equipment, they make equipment for power & water, airplane engines and a few other industries, plus GE capital that does a lot in the financial sector.

Maybe each of those can be broken up into 7 smaller independent companies. That would reduce the size and political influence of GE, since each individual new company would have different political goals and motives. GE Aviation wouldn't care about a new law to regulate railroad engines, and wouldn't spend money to lobby influence on it, while GE Transportation would.

Before GE as a master company, would.
