I’m so impressed with the FTC lately, here is an excellent interview Jon Stewart did with the FTC chair Lina Khan: https://youtu.be/oaDTiWaYfcM

I did joke I’m really surprised the vested interests selected someone competent who wants to hold these companies accountable to the public.

There's a lot of talk about "both sides being the same", but the FTC alone has been a night & day difference from previous administrations.

Do they? I'm not well immersed in the socials, but I thought "both side are the same" peaked around 2000, and now the pendulum has swung to "the other side is wrong in every way".

I’m definitely seeing more of this on the left than warranted by reality.
