'traffic would have plummeted, protecting us consumers'

how exactly?

*Looks at the 4 busted ass appliances, that were built to fall, I bought brand new 3 years ago that are barely clinging onto life. * Consumer protection huh? What a concept.

Glad to see someone else have the exact reaction I did. They know this has nothing to do with consumer protections. Thats just blatant, bold-face lying.

Oh thank the heavens, someone is here to save us guys!!! The corporate greed and multiple wars going on aren't important right now, at least we are safe from free media!
