Finally, I remember the Ajit Pai era all too well when the FCC was auditioning for lucrative future revolving door private gigs. Rather than looking out for consumers.
I get the feeling you cheerlead for big business and corporations over working people and unions.
Troll alert.
This is just an example of the AI-shitshow to come, both in and out of politics. You don't even necessarily have to get away with it, disruptions alone will wreak havoc.
It's a word that encapsulates our times very well. But I hear ya.
Productivity has gone up, wages have been stagnant, but retirement age gets pushed upwards, never downwards.
Just noting that Microsoft acquired Github back in 2018.
Republican death cult party. I think they're truly convinced the wild, wild west was the best of times.
American gun fetishism is batshit off the charts.
This is the same FTC that challenged further supermarket consolidation. Same FTC that is challenging big tech and is wanting AI regulation. Same FTC that Apple stopped John Stewart from interviewing. Clearly this FTC bothers enough giants. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/apple-wouldnt-let-jon-stewart-interview-ftc-chair-lina-khan-tv-host-claims/
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce vowed to sue the F.T.C. to block the proposal, calling it "an unlawful power grab" in a statement shortly after the vote."
This FTC deserves solid applause because this action is huge.
FTC working for the people, rather than using their position to audition for lucrative future private gigs. Rock on.
Billionaires certainly despise unions, profiting by exploiting working people is fundamental to their business models. So Republicans of course loathe unions and thus degradation and control of public education, public school teachers has been a running long term goal.
Charter ~~factories~~ Schools are the foot in the door for free marketeers. Why respect teachers, hire more staff and better fund schools, create communities, when you can cut costs, treat kids and education itself as products, and send those savings into the pockets of just a few people.
Party of small government until guns are threatened or women are given rights over their own bodies. Then it's battle stations.
