        It’s just a shame that there’s really only one government organization globally that will still stand up to corporations.

          To be fair China will send you to a reeducation camp or disappear you if you try to act like a western billionaire.

      The current US Federal Trade Commission is quite agressive compared to other FTCs historically.

        True. Though they have been stuck with 30 years of damage simply reverse too.

          Think of it as 30 years of rent they’re now claiming.

        Yes, but they haven’t fixed this specific problem that just broke in the last day or so, therefore the FTC is a corrupt useless organization that pours hot wax on kittens
