meh, it is just an executive regulation that will go away the next time the party in power changes if it isn't shot down in court first.

it doesn't help my skepticism that these sort of people/consumer first policies don't come out of these administrations until it is election time. They could have done this years ago but why if they couldn't benefit as well?

The FTC has been doing a ton of stuff the last 4 years, you just haven't been paying attention.

Please stop spamming this conspiracy theory. It devalues the discourse. Thank you.
