FTC really do be dropping all of the really hot lawsuits that should have happened years ago… all of 4 days before it won’t matter anymore and the FTC will get dissolved lmfao what a virtue signaling shitfest
Man, fuck off with that attitude. This isn’t like Biden trying to score points on his way out or the Trump report getting released, the FTC did a ton of good shit the past few years and stuff takes time. They’re rushing all this at the last minute because they have to.
The more they push through, the more time the next admin has to spend dealing with it. I’m sure they know a ton of it will get rolled back but…all of it? Maybe not. Inundating them is all they can do now.
I would have liked to see this sooner but most (all?) of the other issues they tackled were more important than this one
What did they actually accomplish? All the anti-trust stuff has just been tied up in courts for years and years. And they gave Apple a pass on their Epic lawsuit, which is a fucking travesty.
There’s been a lot but I don’t blame you for not following them. However, I’m surprised you haven’t even heard about the “popular” ones like killing junk fees and one-click canceling of services.
I definitely remember those things being proposed. I don’t remember them going into effect. Hence the “actually accomplished”. I also remember several companies launching lawsuits to stall the progress. The document you provided says “launched a crackdown on deceptive ‘junk fees’”, not “implemented legislation that banned junk fees”. And “Proposed (not implemented) new ‘click to cancel’ rules”.
With the incoming administration that work is certain to be abandoned. Not saying they didn’t try, just that they weren’t able to be efficient enough to be effective.
…I’m honestly at a complete loss as to what you’re talking about. How what works? What is it you think is happening here? What is it you think I’m lying about?
It’s all part of the game. Same reason senators constantly introduce bills that they know won’t get passed. So they can say “we tried but the other team refused to pass it”.
One party continually tries to pass legislation for safety nets and consolidated services and is blocked by the party that’s controlled the show for almost 40 years
That party goes for tax cuts and havens to keep it’s rich donors happy while blocking anything that helps the other 99%
Right? I just hope the news outlets just put out one giant list of all the lawsuits that the new FTC drops instead of having a million "Trump’s FTC drops lawsuit against [company]

Here’s an out-of-date list.

You: “both sides. I’m smarter than all of you”
Really?
No. Not really. I never said anything that remotely resembled that.
They wouldn’t introduce those bills if they thought they would actually pass.

True, but it makes headlines and looks good for the party and that’s all that matters. Actual substance is so overrated.
