We were making great progress under the previous administration until six months ago, yes.

  Oh, no, you were not! The fact that it's way worse now, doesn't mean you had "great progress" before.

    I think it's pretty much indisputable that the FTC was making huge progress in consumer rights and antitrust work. What, specifically, are you talking about in your comment. It's easy to make comments like this based on general 'feelings' without saying anything at all.

          FTC sues, FTC proposes, FTC accuses. I see no actual change here.

          None of those are antitrust, those are just examples of basic consumer complaints.

            And barely that. If one of these is to be taken at face value, you don't need to disclose fees and false advertising is not illegal?

        Lawsuits against Meta, Amazon, Google, Kroger, etc. They were actually starting to enforce antitrust laws. Tr*mp DOJ actually started the Google one.
        • M95D 1y ago
          None of those were split. They're still the same big monopoly/oligopoly companies. So there's nothing happening that could be considered as antitrust.

    I think maybe Lina Khan was, but not the whole Biden administration.
